Here’s Where ‘Game of Thrones’ is Filming Next Season

Game of Thrones season 7 is going to film in one of the coldest places on earth.

After six seasons of “Winter is Coming,” Game of Thrones fans may actually see the Winter finally hit the popular series. Since winter means snow, the Game of Thrones creative team has pushed back production in order to accomodate the weather, and capture as much authentic cold as possible. And apparently, producers are not joking about seeking out some cold scenes as a new report suggests that Game of Thrones is moving to one of the coldest places on planet earth.

Icelandic news site Vísir.is (via Winter Is Coming) has indicated that filming will begin in the country sometime in January, and that HBO representatives have reportedly already met with local officials to prep for the shoot.

Nothing has been confirmed about specific locations in Iceland yet, though it would make sense that the Game of Thrones team would return to the country, after shooting several key scenes there throughout the show’s run. And if it’s authentic winter weather, Iceland should be able to deliver without a problem. In fact, average temperature in the country’s capital, Reykjavík, dipped down to -0.3°C (31.5°F) in January 2015.

So what can fans expect from the show’s Icelandic scenes? Visir.is’s report indicates that the action will involve six major characters, who are unnamed for now. There’s no official premiere date yet for season seven; we’ll have to wait and see if the production makes it through this rough winter first.
