Beating the Summer Heat

Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland is home to one of the most spectacular places on Earth- Seljalandsfoss. The gorgeous sunset shot behind the waterfall in the song was from this incredible place. It is the perfect escape from the bashing summer sun, the cool breeze from the waterfall acts as a soul rejuvenator leaving everyone relaxed. Visiting the waterfall during the golden hour offers the best views and is one of the few waterfalls that you can walk behind, giving a chance to all curious enthusiasts to see what lies behind this beauty.

For everyone who loves the rainbow or has never seen one, the iconic rainbow waterfall in the song lies near Skogafoss and is the place for you to be. This impressive waterfall known for its 15m width and a flat drop of 60m will steal your heart away. You can climb up to the top of the waterfall to witness some amazing views or even take a dip in the cold water that is surely going to refresh your spirit, a perfect way to find relief from the Indian summer.

The Bollywood lovers

Every one of us fell for that beautiful yellow saree shot, where Kajol looks effortless flaunting the yellow saree with the backdrop of black sand beach and basalt rock columns making the shot extremely cinematic. The Reynisfjara Beach popularly known as Black Sand Beach is a highlight of Iceland with stunning rock formations but is also one of the most dangerous beaches with sneaky waves reaching up to a high of 40 metres. Just proceed with caution and you can recreate your version of the iconic yellow saree scene.

The Plane Wreck is the same plane where SRK poses at the beginning of the song. It is not a prop but an actual flight that crashed in 1973 and has been considered an artifact since then. The plane crash lies on the black sand beach of Solheimasandur and poses as the perfect prop for all SRK fans to channel their inner SRK by re-creating their version of the world-famous SRK pose.

The Winter Wonderland

The mountain backdrops that had everyone drooling in the song Gerua are from Vestrahorn. The magnificent mountains in Southeast Iceland are breathtaking, making it a treasured place for every individual who cherishes in the lap of winter. The snow-decked mountains covered by a thick white blanket look like heaven on Earth making it one of the most photogenic spots.

The floating icebergs and glaciers shown in the song feature Iceland's natural crown jewels, Jokulsarlon. The place is recognised for its glory and beauty as the melting glacier has led to the formation of the lagoon that drifts out the melting glacier to sea, which is then polished by the waves and thrown to the shore creating semi-transparent ice pieces. As a result, the beach has many ice pieces that sparkle like diamonds in the sun and is recognised as a Diamond Beach. IANS/KB
