Thank you all for your information and video. Hope I get there someday, and I'll carry a warm coat.
Rory, we must be twins as it was Journey To The Center Of The Earth, Gertrude the Duck, and Hans that made me want to visit Iceland.
Of course, Joan, you KNOW that nothing in JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH was filmed in Iceland.
If you want to see the Iceland of JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, you need to visit Malibu Creek State Park in Southern California, the greater Red Rock Canyon-Lone Pine-Bishop area of mid-California, and Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico---then you can come visit me and see the actual special effects matte paintings which created some of the remaining environments. 
I don't think anything in '59's JOURNEY was shot in Malibu Creek State Park, the former Fox or Century Ranch. Besides Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico (most of the interior earth settings are actually studio sets), locations in California included Little Lake and Fossil Falls, Leo Carrillo State Beach (underground ocean), and Amboy Crater National Natural Landmark. They also shot some city scenes in Edinburgh, Scotland.
As for the matte paintings, are those by Emile Kosa, Jr.?
