The Ultimate Guide to Movies Filmed in Iceland
Iceland has a rich and varied history on both the big and small screen. Many famous films and series have been shot on this mystical island, even when the story is set elsewhere.
Eva Sadler is a travel and lifestyle writer and editor at Arctic Adventures with 4.5 years of experience across in-house and freelance roles. She writes about Iceland through the lens of culture and folklore, pairing practical travel ideas with a strong sense of place—covering everything from Northern Lights trips and whale watching to the small shifts between seasons that shape what a journey feels like.
Eva holds a Bachelor of Liberal Studies in Visual Arts, which informs her detail-driven, story-forward approach to travel writing. She also writes on her personal blog, Into the Forests I Go, where she documents seasonal living, travel notes, and observations from life as a foreigner building a home in a new country.
Her Arctic Adventures work is grounded in collaboration and accuracy. She draws on insights from guides and product teams to help translate on-the-ground knowledge into planning-ready details, and updates articles using structured research, official guidance, and local insights as conditions and recommendations change.
Outside of work, she writes songs, rides on the back of a motorcycle when the weather behaves, and takes slow forest walks with her greyhound (especially if wild strawberries are in season).
