The scenery of Mýrdalssandur, the vast black sand desert and mossy green hills shown in the film create a surreal scene.

白日梦冒险王
The film uses Icelandic landscapes so generously that it almost feels like an Icelandic propaganda film.
In the film, the protagonist Walter travels the world to the Americas, Greenland, Iceland and the Himalayas, but the actual filming locations are only the United States and Iceland. Scenes from Greenland and the Himalayas were also filmed in Iceland.
Greenland is shown in the film, which is actually the port city of Styki Shulmur on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland, and the Vatnajökull region is shown in Nepal. Seyðisfjörður in eastern Iceland was used to film the volcanic eruption, and Reykjavik and the Reykjanes peninsula were also shown in the film.
This empty landscape was photographed around the Blaufjöll mountains outside Reykjavik.

The film was shot in the south of Iceland. Although the movie is used in scenes from two different planets, the two filming locations are actually only an hour's drive or so. It was filmed on the Svinafelsjökull glacier and a place called Máfabót.

Vatnajökull is easily accessible from Iceland's National Highway 1, which is difficult to capture in other countries, so it is often featured in some films.

007之择日而亡
The film was filmed at the famous filming location of Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. In the movie, Bond goes to an ice hotel made of ice, but there is no such hotel in Iceland. Because it's not cold enough to build an ice building.

Reality Iceland
There was an ice drag racing scene, and this film crew was so lucky! Because this glacial lake does not freeze even in winter. There are waves on the surface of the lake, and the ice on the surface of the water is relatively easy to break, but the ice is very thick when shooting. Is this also a blessing for dragging James Bond?
Jokulsarlon Glacial Lake is a popular tourist destination with many bus tours.

This is also a James Bond movie. The Russia of the film is actually Iceland.
