KIRKJUFELL<br />
REYNISFJARA<br />
BLACK SAND BEACH<br />
Kirkjufell, or “Church Mountain,” is reputed to be the most<br />
photographed mountain in Iceland. Its natural shape makes it an<br />
ideal setting to film the Game of Thrones’ Arrowhead Mountain.<br />
The fictional mountain is a landmark north of The Wall where Jon<br />
Snow battles the army of the dead assembled by the Night King.<br />
Universally recognized as one of the world’s most beautiful<br />
beaches, Reynisfjara features black sand, basalt sea stacks, and<br />
dangerously powerful waves. Located near the southern town<br />
of Vik, the Black Sand Beach is one of Iceland’s most popular<br />
attractions.<br />
In Season Seven, it’s where the White Walkers’ army of the dead<br />
march on the Night Watch castle at Eastwatch by the Sea as they<br />
breach The Wall.<br />
