Þórbergssetur
Þórbergssetur is a culture center and heritage museum at Hali in Suðursveit, useful when a glacier-lagoon driving day needs local history, literary context, and a calmer indoor pause near Jökulsárlón.

Þrengsli and Þrengslavegur
Þrengsli and Þrengslavegur help self-drivers decode Route 39 on the Reykjavík-to-South-Iceland edge, especially when road checks, Raufarhólshellir, Hellisheiði, Hveragerði, Þorlákshöfn routing, or winter conditions need a safer plan.

Þrídrangaviti Lighthouse
Þrídrangaviti is a remote lighthouse on sea stacks off the Westman Islands, worth planning around only if a boat day, helicopter sightseeing, or strong curiosity about Iceland's most exposed landmarks already fits your South Coast route.

Þríhnúkagígur
Þríhnúkagígur is a dormant volcano near Reykjavík where guided visitors descend into an empty magma chamber, worth choosing when a booked half-day adventure fits your weather, budget, and energy.

Þríhyrningur
Þríhyrningur is a three-peaked mountain above Fljótshlíð in South Iceland, best for travelers who want a quieter marked hike, wide saga-country views, and enough weather flexibility to skip it when cloud or snow wins.

Þúfa
Þúfa is Reykjavík’s grass-covered harbour art mound in Grandi, worth adding when you want a short walk with skyline views and a specific sense of place, but skippable if your city time only fits one stronger landmark.
