Arctic filming location in Google Earth

[planettom]

As you all probably know, STARGATE CONTINUUM got a unique chance to film up above the Arctic Circle, almost 200 miles out on the ice.

At the U.S. Navy's Applied Physics Laboratory Ice Station 2007 (APLIS 2007)
from March 23 to 29, 2007.

Approximately here in Google Earth, about 190 miles north of Prudhoe
Bay, Alaska, 1016 miles from the North Pole:

75.337830 N 148.134183 W

Here's a thread on the Google Earth Community about the location of APLIS 2007.

On a completely unrelated topic, some here may be amused by my Stargate Simulator that I did in Flash.

Um, on my Google Earth it takes me to the ocean above Alaska. Is that right?

Yes. They filmed it 190 miles out on the ice, in temperatures -20 farenheit (-50 with wind chill).

A film crew of seven (including the 3 actors) went there, and they stayed for a week in those plywood huts on the ice. Apparently kind of a (winter) summer camp; everyone including the actors had to pitch in with KP duty, etc.

On the commentary they mention that on the far shots when Browder and Tapping are in the endless expanses of ice, they had to have someone hiding nearby behind the ice ripples with a rifle in case of polar bear attack.
