What is said in this reel
These alien planets are real, and you can visit all five in Europe. Number five, Caladan, the ocean from Dune. It's the Stad Peninsula, in Norway. Number four, two planets from Rogue One, both filmed on Iceland's black sand south coast. Number three, the alien world in Prometheus, shot at the foot of Hekla, a volcano medieval Europe called the Gateway to Hell. Number two, Interstellar size planet, the Svínafellsjökull Glacier. Some close-ups were filmed in a motel parking lot, painted to look like ice. And number one, Hoth, from the Empire Strikes Back, a glacier near Finse, Norway. They filmed it in the worst snowstorm in 50 years. Which one would you visit first?
