Stadlandet / Caladan

Stadlandet in western Norway must have been an easy choice as the filming location for Caladan, the native planet of House Atreides for 26 generations before taking over Arrakis. In Dune, Frank Herbert describes Caladan as an ocean world, and the filmmakers found plenty of that around the peninsula Stadlandet, surrounded by fjords and located between the North Sea and the Norwegian See.
