Ice Vikings
ICE VIKINGS looks at the wild and dangerous world of commercial ice fishing. Modern day vikings set out on ice as thin as paper to stake their claim to the bountiful freshwater fish stock. Crews battle against the elements, as temperatures plunge below -50 Celsius, to haul in their freshwater catch that is worth millions once shipped around the world. In this season, the Kristjanson family travels to Iceland to uncover their ancestral roots and learn about the old-world ways of fishing. They bring home with them the viking spirit of exploration, which fuels their hunt for the best catch the season has to offer, giving their all like never before.
