Set in Iceland, not filmed there
1 more place in Iceland appears on this atlas because a game, an anime or a manga is SET there. Nothing was filmed at it: a drawn or rendered work is filmed nowhere, and some of these places are invented and pinned on what Wikidata says they are based on.
Also shot in Iceland, without a precise location
Wikidata records 18 more productions as shot in Iceland while naming only the country or the state — true, and too coarse to pin, so they are named here rather than dropped or guessed at.
