MOONLAND PRESENTING
ICELAND
THE LAND OF FIRE AND ICE
An island of sharp and extreme geological contrasts. A place where fire and ice co-exist. Where dark winters are offset by summer’s midnight sun. A country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture. Home to some of the largest glaciers in Europe and some of the world’s most active volcanoes. With other words a geological masterpiece, a peerless volcanic land of dramatic skies, bubbling earth, thundering waterfalls and thermal lagoons.
A number of international films has been shot in Iceland such as Interstellar, Rogue One, Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Prometheus, Game of Thrones, Batman Begins, 007 and many more. The modern infrastructure combined with very short distances between widely different geological areas make Iceland an ideal destination for film- and photoproductions.
Iceland is Art
Black sands, imposing glaciers and snowcapped mountains, otherworldly lava fields, majestic waterfalls, lakes and lagoons with floating icebergs, the stark highland interior, tundra, moors patched with blue ponds, steam emitting red and yellow sulphur mountains or scenes of serene beauty. And do not forget the Icelandic light.
An island of many characters
With a varied landscape that can inspire both mythical worlds and strange planets, Iceland can assume many roles.
The Himalayas, a Pacific Island, Siberia, Minnesota, Greenland, postapocalyptic earth and Scandinavia are only a few examples of the places Iceland has stood in for.
