Scenes and places
The cabin in the Sierra Nevada

Set in Farm in West Texas — A farm where Ellie Sattler investigates the locust outbreak and finds the neighbours' crops left uneaten.
The setting is rural West Texas, but the scene was shot at a farm near Aylesbury, England; no exact spot is recorded.

Biosyn Valley and the frozen dam

The valley mixes scanned mountains from two countries with a studio lake.
Filmed at Grande Dixence Dam, Valais, Switzerland — The dam and its mountains were digitally scanned in winter and recreated as a frozen Biosyn dam. Google Maps · Apple Maps
