You might be wondering how or why proving this extremely particular claim might be the goal for a Arctic-set action-adventure about two men who must kill a sled dog or two in order to survive.
That prized document suggests, in no uncertain terms, that Danish explorers, and not the American adventurer Robert Peary, had already discovered Greenland’s Northern-most border, which in turn suggests that the US “has no claim” in the Arctic, as Mikkelsen explains to Iversen. Buried within this cairn is a written record of the last Danish expedition’s findings. Within a very short amount of time, Coster-Waldau and Joe Derrick set up their story-an adaptation of Arctic explorer Ejnar Mikkelsen’s memoir Two Against the Ice-as the sort of grisly and high-toned boy’s adventure story where the worst can and probably will happen, especially when you’re expecting it.Ĭoster-Waldau plays Mikkelsen, the haunted sea captain who leads poor naïve mechanic Iver Iversen ( Joe Cole) on a perilous journey to a cairn (or a “a stack of stones one can see from far away,” as one character helpfully explains) far away from their ship, the Alabama, and its crew.

“Against the Ice” delivers all the delirious period drama thrills and survival horror angst that you could want from a movie with that title.
