n The Empire Strikes Back, the beleaguered rebel alliance finds short-lived refuge on the harsh ice planet of Hoth. We are pleased to see that Earth has places that are just as breathtaking as what George Lucas and his ILM magicians could create, and our locations don’t include killer Imperial probes or AT-ATs. In fact, this image of Gígjökull, an outlet glacier extending from Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland, looks positively peaceful. A nice place to hide from Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine’s other minions, you might think. You might think. PHOTO BY ANDREAS TILLE
