This is the view of the valley at Thingvellir.

Because the landscape is such a chameleon, a lot of movies and tv shows are filmed here, pretending to be anywhere from Nepal to Iwo Jima to imaginary planets. In Game of Thrones everything north of the Wall is actually Iceland, and the landscape Arya wanders through with the Hound was filmed here in Thingvellir.
