I find it fascinating that someone will make an edit to Wikipedia but not check what the linked source says. (Looking at the edit history the locations were swapped but the old source remained).

Page is locked and I don't have enough wiki cred to edit it 😒

Screenshot of Wikipedia section, with final sentence highlighted: In popular culture The Siachen glacier was mentioned in the 2018 Hollywood movie Mission: Impossible - Fallout starring Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill. In the movie's climax, rogue agent Walker (Cavill) plots nuclear bombs at the base of Siachen glacier. **The scene however was actually filmed in Preikestolen, Norway because the Indian government denied the movie makers permission to film in Kashmir.

Screenshot of Hindustan Times web page, with sentence highlighted: "We would have loved to come to India to shoot the film. We couldn't shoot the aerial sequence (helicopter chage sequence) in India. It was a little too crazy. **So, we ended up in New Zealand**, But I scouted India extensively and I would love to come to India and shoot a film,' McQuarrie had previously told IANS.

@willhbr I think I have enough wiki cred but when I tried to look into this I just got myself a bit confused. It seems like parts of the film were filmed in both Norway and New Zealand. (whether the cited source says what is in the article is, of course, a consideration but there are others such as whether other sources should be cited in addition to or instead of that one). I put my findings in a comment under "New Zealand or Norway?" at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sia

@soaproot my understanding (from memory) is that most of the helicopter chase (and camp area?) is filmed in NZ, and the final fight scene after the helicopter crash is in Norway.
