Kjartansson warns temperatures can
vary from +10 to -20 pretty quickly,
so you need proper gear, not only for
the cold, but also rain and even sleet.
"We send a list to our crew of clothing
that's needed and appropriate," he says.
"Then we have a store at base camp in
case anything's missing."
SLM Thor Kjartansson
"Productions can try and cheat mountain conditions on
green screen or in virtual production studios, but it's not
the same as being there, flying helicopters in the Arctic or
cast and crew sitting on a ship staring at the ice caps. It's
also easy to spot the fake from the real on screen," insists
Roberts.
"None of the 145 crew on the BBC drama series The
North Water, which shot stunning exteriors on location in
the Arctic, and interiors in a studio, is going to tell their
grandchildren about being in the sound stages."
Doug Dresser/LMGI, Kinik Glacier, Alaska
