ARCTIC OCEAN (NNS) -- Ice Exercise (ICEX) 2007, a joint U.S. Navy/Royal Navy training event on and under the Arctic ice turned Hollywood when Stargate SG-1 cast members headed north to film aboard USS Alexandria (SSN 757) after the nuclear-powered attack submarine punched through the polar ice pack March 28.
ICEX played the perfect part in the film "Stargate: Continuum," serving as the backdrop for the movie as the 360-foot, 7,100-ton submarine surfaced from the frigid depths through the ice launching the conning tower under a giant "X," right on cue.
"That was unbelievable," said Stargate star Amanda Tapping, who plays U.S. Air Force Col. Samantha Carter. "They hit that 'X' better than any actor I've ever seen."

ICEX 2007 Camp Inhabitants Battle Harsh Arctic to Support Underwater Exercise
Movie stars and a film crew filmed aboard the USS Alexandria (SSN 757) and used the camp as a base of operations during the making of the motion picture ”Stargate SG-1: Continuum.”
The submarine acted as a rescue vessel for series characters trapped in the barren, endless icescape.
“It was amazing,” said Stargate SG-1 actress Amanda Tapping, who plays Col. Samantha Carter. “It’s just so different. It’s just the thought being out here in the middle of the Arctic sitting on a block of ice with 40 other people.”
