[[Jökulsárlón]], Iceland was used for the car chase on the ice. Four Aston Martins and four Jaguars, all converted to four-wheel drive, were used (and wrecked) filming the sequence. A temporary dam was constructed at the mouth of the narrow inlet to keep the salty ocean water out and allow the lagoon to freeze.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.travelociraptor.com/die-another-day-iceland-frozen-lake-scene/|title=Die Another Day Car Chase on Frozen Lake Filmed in Iceland|date=29 June 2017|access-date=29 December 2018|archive-date=30 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181230181110/http://www.travelociraptor.com/die-another-day-iceland-frozen-lake-scene/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Additional chase footage was filmed at [[Svalbard]], Norway, [[Jostedalsbreen National Park]], Norway, and [[RAF Little Rissington]], Gloucestershire.<ref name="locales"/> [[Manston Airport]] in [[Kent]] was used for the scenes involving the Antonov cargo plane scenes.<ref>{{cite web|author=Kent Film Office|url=http://kentfilmoffice.co.uk/2002/02/die-another-day-2002/|title=Kent Film Office Die Another Day Film Focus|date=19 February 2002 |access-date=18 July 2013|archive-date=30 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130730080148/http://kentfilmoffice.co.uk/2002/02/die-another-day-2002/|url-status=live}}</ref> The scene in which Bond surfs the wave created by Icarus when Graves was attempting to kill Bond was shot on the [[chroma key|blue screen]].

These latter scenes, though portrayed in the air, were actually filmed entirely on the ground with the sky background being added in post-production using blue screen techniques. Although the base is portrayed in the film as a US base, all the aircraft and personnel in the scene are British in real life. In the film, Switchblades (one-person gliders resembling fighter jets in shape) are flown by Bond and Jinx to stealthily enter North Korea. The Switchblade was based on a workable model called "PHASST" (Programmable High Altitude Single Soldier Transport). Kinetic Aerospace Inc.'s lead designer, Jack McCornack was impressed by director Lee Tamahori's way of conducting the Switchblade scene and commented: "It's brief, but realistic. The good guys get in unobserved, thanks to a fast cruise, good glide performance, and minimal radar signature. It's a wonderful promotion for the PHASST."<ref>{{cite press release |title=Bond Flies PHASST |publisher=Kinetic Aerospace |url=http://www.kineticaerospace.com/ |access-date=18 November 2006 |archive-date=12 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130612150303/http://kineticaerospace.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The satellite attack at the end of the film was at first written to take place in [[Manhattan]], but after the [[September 11 attacks]], it was moved to the [[Korean Demilitarized Zone]].<ref name=":1"/>
