Frankenstein - A fortress in Germany (the ancestral homeland of the franks) it means 'Rock of the Franks' in German. It used as the laboratory for some Victorians scientists (name needed) for experiments in electro-magnetism an fledgling science at the time of Mary Shelley.

La Mer De Glace - A large glacier in Switzerland (Means The sea of glass in French). Where the Dr. and the Monster met and talked.

The Hebrides Islands - Where the Dr. dared to make a female monster.

A ship trapped in the ice near the north pole - Where the Dr. chased the monster trying to kill it and finally died.

All these locations were chosen for their Gothic atmosphere I'm sure.
