The majority of the action that takes place north of the Wall was filmed in Iceland, and a large portion of the filming in Iceland took place in and around the Mýrdalsjökull area, specifically Höfðabrekkuheiði.
Then again, if you venture north to Iceland, deep into the territory of one of Iceland's glaciers - Mýrdalsjökull, you might also stumble upon this position known as the Fist of the First Men. If you venture north of the wall, deep into wildling territory you may come across this ancient defensive position used by the Night's Watch. This article might include a few, tiny spoilers.
So, I'm just gonna walk you through some of the places that filming took place in for Game of Thrones in Iceland. It's always a treat to find out that those otherworldly places that you mistook for CGI are actual, real-life places. Some of the more notable ones that were chosen were places like Marocco, Spain, Scotland, Croatia, Malta, Northern Ireland and, of course, Iceland. The producers looked at hundreds of locations around the world in their search for the most suitable places to portray the lands of Westeros and Essos. Game of Thrones brilliantly captivates its audience with multiple stories of political intrigue that all bind together in the larger scheme of things, but what seems to stir feelings with a lot of people are the carefully chosen locations in which the series is filmed. It is my life's ambition as a writer to one day create a piece of work with as much depth and ingenuity as Martin did. But, above all else, I am a fan of the massive, intriguing world of Ice and Fire, the lands of Essos and Westeros, and the thousands of years of history that happened there.
I am also a fan of Martin's book series - A Song of Ice and Fire. Why is it so special to me? Well, like the majority of people with access to mainstream media, I am a fan of the HBO series. This article is special to me, so special in fact that I felt the need to put my uncomfortable Alienware headphones over my head, locate a long Game of Thrones playlist on Spotify and turn the volume all the way up, blasting my ears with the opening theme and other iconic songs from the series as I write.
