Between its glaciers, icebergs, high plateaus, waterfalls, lakes, geological fissure and charming villages… Iceland boasts some of the world's most breathtaking landscapes. It's hardly surprising, then, that the country has become an open-air  film studio. For this reason, we're introducing you to 5 films and series whose filming locations are in Iceland. A perfect opportunity to (re)discover Iceland's sensational landscapes while having a great time…

1. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

While the film's scenes give the impression of having been shot across the four corners of the world, they were, in fact, all filmed in Iceland! The port village of Stykkishólmur, for instance, convinces viewers it's a Greenlandic city, while the Vatnajokull glacier represents Nepal. One thing is certain: 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' is the perfect film for getting a glimpse of all of Iceland's extraordinary landscapes.

Did you know? Fans will be delighted to learn that during a trip to Iceland, it's possible to rent and spend the night in Walter Mitty's famous room (played by Ben Stiller) in the village of Stykkishólmur!

After having filmed 'Batman Begins' there, the renowned filmmaker Christopher Nolan once again chose Iceland's landscapes to shoot his now-legendary film: Interstellar. In this sci-fi masterpiece, the scenes of Miller's water planet were shot at Máfabót, a stunning stretch of land between river and sea. The scenes from Mann's ice planet, meanwhile, were filmed on the Svínafellsjökull glacier. It's in this surreal setting that Matthew McConaughey encounters Matt Damon…

With its otherworldly landscapes, there's nowhere better than Iceland to represent the settings of the landmark series, Game of Thrones.

Thus, the famous Wall is none other than the face of Vatnajökull. Other sequences also took place at Þingvellir — the famous geological fissure — at Thingvellir National Park, at Hengill volcano  or near the Mýrdalsjökull glacier and Lake Myvatn…

4. Die Another Day

One of the most iconic action sequences of the James Bond franchise was filmed on Jökulsarlon lake. While Iceland had already welcomed the irresistible Roger Moore for filming 'For Your Eyes Only', it welcomed another James Bond, no less impressive: Pierce Brosnan. It's he who, in 'Die Another Day', hovers over Jökulsarlon lake by helicopter and, racing in his sports car, engages in one of cinema's most memorable ice chases…

5. Star Wars Rogue One

The Star Wars production team had already come to Iceland for the episode 'The Force Awakens' released in 2015. For 'Star Wars Rogue One', released the following year, they didn't hesitate to return to these lands of fire and ice. It was the shores of Reynisfjara, on Iceland's south coast, that were used to represent the planet Eadu. Truly, there's nothing quite like these landscapes of black sand and basalt columns rising from the waters to create an intergalactic universe as captivating as it is mysterious…
