Best Reactions To "Against The Ice"

In Game of Thrones, Jaime Lannister never got the chance to go beyond the wall and experience devilishly frigid conditions. Well, Netflix's Against the Ice sees Nikolaj Coster-Waldau doing exactly that.

Based on a real expedition, it's a survival-adventure film set in the brutal sub-zero environment of Greenland.

It follows the travels and travails of two Danish explorers, Captain Ejnar Mikkelsen and his mechanic, Iver Iversen, as they wander the white wilderness in 1909 looking for a map that proves that whole of Greenland belongs to Denmark and not to the US.
