Tourism: Iceland, life-size scenery

In the hushed silence ofand its snow-capped peaks, Iceland offers itself as a blank page to the most daring directors. The island dons a whole panoply of costumes: a distant planet Interstellara new Eldorado in the series vikings or even a fantasy world in game of Thrones. So many filmings that attract tourists to the ice island. In recent years, one in five tourists have come to Iceland to walk in the footsteps of their favorite films.

More than just decor

But some filming locations can only be tamed by the most courageous. It’s the case of glacier the Vatnajokull. For thirty years, Anna Maria Ragnarsdottirhotel owner Skaftafellsaw film crews march past, especially those from Interstellar. She confides: “You could see in the evening that they came home tired. They had all kinds of weather up there when they were shooting. It’s amazing that they knew how to deal with that.“Ultimately, more than just a setting, Iceland is become a full-fledged star with whom the greatest directors dream of filming.
