Earlier in Season 4 Episode 6, the waterfall is seen in its actual form (more or less), as part of the Meeren landscape where a young goatherder is sadly fried by Drogon. Although actors Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke filmed somewhere in Iceland for their snow scenes, the waterfall was superimposed (with an upper tier added) during post-production. Located in south Iceland, this gorgeous 62m-high waterfall is seen in Season 8 Episode 1 where Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen have a lovey-dovey moment after their dragon rides, somewhere not far from Winterfell. Later in Episode 6 of the same season, the mountain is seen in snow-covered glory as Jon Snow and his squad of merry men trek towards it beyond the Wall. It is then known as the Arrowhead Mountain after The Hound saw it in a vision (though not shown visually) in Season 7 Episode 1. Touted as Iceland’s most photographed mountain, the 463m-high Mount Kirkjufell-located in Snaefellsnes Peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður in western Iceland-first appears in Season 6 Episode 5 where the Children of the Forest first created the Night King, as seen via Bran Stark’s vision.
