Abstract:

A light suspension bridge was the winner of a design competition in 2014 for a crossing of a glacial river into Thorsmork, a remote nature reserve in the vicinity of the Eyjafjallajokull glacier where a volcanic eruption caused a shutdown of the majority of Europe´s airspace in 2010.

The enterprise was engaged by the Icelandic Road Administration and the local organization Friends of Thorsmork with the main objective of providing safer access to one of Iceland´s most popular tourist destinations.
