Short description
Henry Drax is a harpooner and brutish killer whose amorality has been shaped to fit the harshness of his world, who will set sail on a whaling expedition to the Arctic with Patrick Sumner, a disgraced ex-army surgeon who signs up as the ship’s doctor. Hoping to escape the horrors of his past, Sumner finds himself on an ill-fated journey with a murderous psychopath. In search of redemption, his story becomes a harsh struggle for survival in the Arctic wasteland.

What's left behind the scenes
- While working on the look of his character, Colin Farrell, who played Henry Drax, lifted weights and ate heavily before the filming period began. He did not consult with trainers or doctors; the actor simply studied old photographs of boxers and dockworkers.
- For six weeks, members of the crew and cast of the series lived on two small yachts in the Arctic Ocean.
- On one occasion, filming had to be interrupted when a walrus accidentally wandered onto the set.
- The series featured the three-masted schooner 'Activ', built in Denmark in 1951. This same vessel appeared in John Huston's 1956 drama 'Moby Dick' and other projects.
- Due to the weather conditions and temperatures, the actors in the series had to work with almost no rehearsals.
- Because it was impossible to contact the mainland (especially at night), the filmmakers set up an improvised bar on the shore and often hung out there. Jack O'Connell (who played former military surgeon Patrick Sumner) and Colin Farrell (who played Henry Drax, a harpooner and killer) do not drink alcohol, so they did not attend these parties.
- Almost the entire series was filmed in Norway, with the final work completed in studio pavilions.
