18. Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, Iceland – The Epic Backdrop for Game of Thrones & Star Wars

This stunning Icelandic canyon, carved over millennia by glacial waters, has become a sought-after filming location for epic fantasy and sci-fi films. It was featured prominently in Game of Thrones, providing the dramatic setting for Jon Snow’s journey beyond the Wall. Additionally, it made an appearance in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, helping to create the mystical, unearthly terrain of Ahch-To, where Luke Skywalker was found.
