Ice Vikings - Series 3 (2022)

DOCUMENTARY / LIFESTYLE SERIES

The Ice Vikings return for a third season with an adventurous look at the wild and dangerous world of commercial ice fishing on Lake Winnipeg. Here, modern day vikings set out on ice as thin as a sheet of paper to stake their claim to the bountiful freshwater fish stock on one of Canada’s largest lakes. Once the claims are held, the crews battle against the elements, as temperatures plunge below -50 Celsius, to haul in their freshwater catch that is worth millions as it is shipped around the world.

This season we kick things off where the people and local Lake Winnipeg fishing industry began… Iceland. The Kristjanson family travels to the island of fire and ice to uncover their ancestral roots and learn something new about the old-world ways of fishing. Once there, they reconnect with the viking spirit of exploration, the same thing which fuels their hunt for the best catch each season has to offer.

A return home finds the Ice Vikings back on treacherous ice conditions as getting nets in the water is near impossible. But the fishing crews persevere, pressing onward, returning to family fishing locations before their competition moves in. This year we see the true viking spirit take shape and the men and women of the big lake giving their all like never before.
