Speaking with ComingSoon.net, Nikolaj revealed that the majority of them got stuck on a glacier due to inclement weather.

“We had a storm and we were told that the weather was gonna get better. Then it just got worse and worse and worse,” he said. “Then suddenly to get told that we had to evacuate, I was kinda laughing because it was so intense and it was so extreme to suddenly you find yourself in a tiny cabin with a hundred people.”

Nikolaj went on, saying that “we had to roll call because in case someone was missing, we had to have a search and rescue team sent out. I never had that happen on a movie before.”

He also said that on the first day of filming, everyone was required “to have a whistle on you at all times in case you fell into a crevice.”

“Never had that happen to me before, and there was a lot of firsts I’ve never had to travel two hours, when we were in Greenland, on a snowmobile to go to set,” Nikolaj added. “I’ve never shot in negative 28 degrees. There were a lot of firsts, but I also have to say there was not a single day on this shoot, I think we shot 60 days, where I didn’t enjoy it, where it wasn’t fun, where it wasn’t spectacular, and where it wasn’t cold.”

In another recent interview, Nikolaj revealed he also got a concussion from filming.

Against The Ice is streaming now on Netflix.
