Although The Thing (2011) appears to be in the tundra of Antartica, the horror prequel actually spent most of the film in various parts of Canada.

Though the 2011 prequel to the John Carpenter horror classic, The Thing, may seem like it truly does take place in the white tundras of Antarctica, the film was actually filmed in various places in Canada and online. The Thing follows a group of scientists at a Norwegian Antarctic research station that discovers a parasitic alien stuck in the ice. The film, made in 2011, is a prequel to the 1982 film of the same name and is based on the novella "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell.
