Iceland's beautiful scenery is no longer a secret to the Hollywood executives. With gorgeous landscapes and bizarre, but beautiful, volcanic and glacial structures, the backdrop of this North Atlantic country looks like the perfect movie set – only it is real! As a result, there has been a large influx of movie productions that have graced the backdrops of Iceland.
Using Google Street View, I have compiled a virtual tour of Iceland's movie production sets at the different filming locations around Iceland.
