AGAINST THE ICE (Video Release World-wide 2022)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì 

Against the Ice—explorer survival film—picks up pace when the two leading explorers are on their actual treks into the wilderness and when they discover they have been abandoned by their crew when they return to home base. The attempt to survive mentally and physically is very well done, creates interest, and establishes realism in how to survive. More clarity needs to be established why this expedition was important to the Danes and its historical significance. Do a little Wikipedia research on explorers Ejnar Mikkelsen and Iver Iversen to enhance appreciation of the film.
