    128 Morrison Road, Longview

    Interstellar

    Seaman Stadium

    Okotoks, south of Calgary

    Alberta

    Fort Macleod’s main street

    24th Street, Fort Macleod

    Interstellar

    More dust-storm scenes with McConaughey were filmed in Fort Macleod.

    A public main street. Park and walk it; the Empress Theatre still shows films.

  4. Grey limestone peaks and ridges under a pale sky

    Alberta

    Goat Creek car park

    Spray Lakes Road, below Ha Ling Peak, Canmore

    Interstellar

    The secret NORAD entrance was built in the Goat Creek car park, south of Whiteman’s Pond and below Ha Ling Peak. The family drives there along Spray Lakes Road from Canmore.

    A public trailhead car park; you need a Kananaskis Conservation Pass to park. Alberta Parks says cars can currently reach it only from the south, by Spray Lakes Road from Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, so check before you drive.

  5. A grey and white glacier tongue descending between dark mountains into a still lagoon

    Iceland

    Svínafellsjökull

    Vatnajökull National Park, east of Skaftafell

    Interstellar

    The Svínafellsjökull glacier doubled for Mann’s planet.

    An outlet glacier you can see from Route 1. Stay off the ice unless you are with a glacier guide. The Skaftafellsstofa visitor centre is open all year; conditions change fast outside summer.

  6. Aerial view of a small village beside a braided grey river and green cliffs

    Iceland

    Kirkjubæjarklaustur

    South coast of Iceland, west of Skaftafell

    Interstellar

    In September 2013 the Reykjavík Grapevine reported that Interstellar would film at Kirkjubæjarklaustur, on the south coast.

    A village on Iceland’s south coast. Máfabót, where the water planet was shot, has no public road in; the flat country round the village is what you can see.
