What is that "if we get a season four"? Of course there will be a season four! Otherwise, they'll have to deal with some really angry fans. It's really difficult to create a screen version of a book, and so far they are doing a great job.

Welcome to Siberia to shoot season four. Double cold here =) And a more beautiful place!

I too must have Stark blood. I LOVE Ice, snow and I'm completely drawn to Iceland. We were visiting my (famous actress) friend in Sweden this Summer and it was incredible! We traveled the land of the Vikings, visited many castles and even stayed in a Viking replicated home by the sea built in the late 1800's and stayed in a Kings Castle one night as well. We plan on visiting the Ice Hotel someday too. We stopped in Iceland for a bit to experience the Blue Lagoon and see the landscape which evoked something I can't articulate. This video of the cast & crew filming your world of wonder so dear to my heart in the authentic place on earth that can depict it is sheer perfection and makes me so excited. I wish I could be a part of the making! It's the greatest creative project I can think of in these times. I can't Thank you enough times for your mind and soul and imagination Ser George. HUGS!!

Ah, so you like colder weather Ser? Well, then I invite you to visit the realms to the North of your country anytime between December and March...and dress warmly. The crew of HBO is welcome there also, should they be seeking additional locations to film. Down / goose is an amazing creation, and Eddie Bauer excels in keeping warm while outdoors.
The Rockies, mountains of British Columbia and Northwest Territoties are worthy of note. However when you venture North next, be sure to stop at the Nation's Capital of Ottawa, Ontario to make an appearance and indulge in some culture, food and drink, and friends. Our Winterlude occurs early Feb, and in October we feature and celebrate local craft beers.

Consider it 'research' - venturing North on this land mass, to gain inspiration for some Northern climates of YOUR land mass of Westeros ;)

I can't wait. They are doing a wonderful job. It is also good to see Caesar again :)

Better -25С in Greenland than in -15С in modern Moscow. Although the 20-30 years ago -20С in Moscow was quite comfortably :)
Or maybe just then trees were higher and the sun shone brighter

Haven't you had enough Stark blood already? Will you rest before you've taken it all?

You could film in the Pine Barrens. You remember how Christopher and Paulie nearly froze to death.

You should totally stay at the ice hotel. And do a tour with a dog sleigh.

And once in the north, I'd also recommend the Hurtigruten cruise (it's great off season; I did it in late March/early April and there were already several hours of daylight in the farthest north), visit the Viking museum in Oslo and the old town in Bergen, the cathedral in Trondheim (that one's part of the cruise, too) ... Gotland and Visby are worth a visit, too. But if I continue to list all _all_ the cool places in Scandinavia, you'll be there for three months and the fans will kill me. ;-)

You can't have Stark blood. You're still alive!

It's cold on the glaciers in the hinterland, sure. Meanwhile, it's currently +4°C in my home town Hafnarfjörður :)

It would just be wrong to not get a season 4 when season 3 cuts off mid-book!

I thought it would be fun to go to Iceland in August, because I had always heard that Iceland is actually unusally warm. I had not realized that they just meant "unusually warm for the latitude," meaning 60 degree his in the summer instead of 30 like the rest of the Arctic. So we went to Aruba instead.

You're welcome to Sweden any time you like, ser.

There's a sad lack of skinchangers and wildlings, and the White Walkers haven't been seen for ages, but we do have wolves, bears, reindeer aplenty, dog sleds, aurora borrealis, and generally lovely cold winters. Try the Jokkmokk Winter Market; that's a 400-year old tradition and worth seeing.

As for the Ice Hotel, the local tip is "visit it, don't sleep in it".

if we get a season four
*if*??  With the roll you and the production are on, I shudder to think what it wound take for there not to be a season four!

No way, I just checked and today Iceland is warm! Minnesota is cold. Below zero F here. Your cohorts in Iceland are wimps.
