ICE, CAMERA, ACTION! With its dramatic landscapes and mystical beauty, it’s easy to see why Iceland is hired by Hollywood. The country’s film-famous glaciers, mountains and waterfalls have replicated all kinds of places, from Nepal to unknown planets and fantasy lands. Who needs CGI?
JÖKULSÁRLÓN This vast glacial lake just screams ‘Film me!’ Floating blue ice? Check. Mountains on the horizon? Yes. Colourful sunsets? Of course. Brushing the edge of Vatnajökull glacier, this winter wonderland is a cameraman’s dream. Jökulsárlón impersonates frosty Siberia in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Meanwhile, fans of 007 will recognise the lagoon from car chase scenes in James Bond: Die Another Day. 16
