when was season 3 of game of thrones filmed
Game of Thrones (season 3) The filming of the third season began in early July 2012,[3] and concluded with the wrap of the unit filming in Iceland on November 24, 2012.[24] Filming in Iceland, for scenes in five of the season's ten episodes, took place near Akureyri and Lake Mývatn. Dimmuborgir was used as the location for Mance Rayder's wildling army camp, and the Grjótagjá cave was used as establishing shot of Jon Snow and Ygrite in the cave although most of this scene was filmed in the studio.[25] The filming in Iceland lasted eight days, as opposed to nearly a month for season 2.[26] Kit Harington (Jon Snow) broke an ankle in an accident in July, which required the Iceland shoots to be pushed back to give him time to heal, as well as the occasional use of a body double.[27]
