In the video, Cruise calls the place 'beautiful.' His co-star Simon Pegg says that filming in such extreme temperatures makes the scenes look real. Actress Hayley Atwell mentions that the frozen setting helps build tension in the scenes. She says the real location adds weight to the story.
Director Christopher McQuarrie says the cold could not be faked. He explains that even taking gloves off for a few seconds can lead to freezing fingers. This made the shoot more difficult but also more authentic.
Live Events
This is not the first time Cruise has filmed in difficult conditions. In earlier films, he has climbed tall buildings and hung off flying planes. His work on this film adds another tough shoot to the series. Svalbard now becomes part of the film's record of real and risky locations.

This bomb is thousand times more powerful than an atomic bomb, its name is..., its developed by.... Which is the most dangerous weapon in the world? Most of the people will say nuclear bomb. Because the world has already seen the devastation caused by this powerful bomb once, when US dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But perhaps you would not know that nuclear weapons are not the most lethal, but there are weapons even more dangerous than this in the world, let's find out. The most dangerous and deadly weapon in the world is not the atomic bomb but the hydrogen bomb. It is 1000 times more powerful than any atomic bomb. When the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan on August 6, about 1,40,000 people were killed and 70 cities were destroyed. Now you can imagine yourself how much devastation can be caused if a hydrogen bomb explodes. If it is a small country, it can even be destroyed. The hydrogen bomb works in the same way as the action takes place in the core of the sun. It produces heat by continuous explosions. How Hydrogen bomb works? The hydrogen bomb explodes in three stages. The first two stages generate 50 lakh degrees Celsius of heat, which helps its main reactors to explode. When it explodes, it produces so much light that a person can go blind. It has the same power as the sunlight. Only a few countries in the world have hydrogen bombs. These countries are US, Britain, China, Russia, India, Pakistan and Israel.

Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning mints Rs 1110 crore in USA alone
Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is performing well globally. The film has earned US $129.2 million worldwide. It is doing well in the United States and China. The movie is expected to surpass Dead Reckoning's China earnings. To be profitable, The Final Reckoning needs to earn $1 billion worldwide. The film's performance indicates a successful run. Tom Cruise is proving once again why he remains Hollywood's most reliable action star. His latest outing, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, released on May 23, 2025, has stormed the US box office, collecting a mighty US $129.2 million ( Rs 1110 crore) as of its second Tuesday, with a particularly strong $4.1 million haul reflecting a minimal -42.8% drop from the previous week — far steadier than Dead Reckoning's -56.3% drop in 2023. T his performance places The Final Reckoning among the top five second Tuesday grossers for Memorial Day releases in the U.S. Only Cruise's own Top Gun: Maverick ($13.8M), Lilo & Stitch ($8.4M), Aladdin ($7.8M), and The Little Mermaid ($6.1M) have fared better historically. Projected to finish its U.S. run between $190 million and $210 million, the film's strong legs point toward a promising overall trajectory. But it's not just America where Cruise's star power is shining. In China, the film is delivering exceptional numbers as well. On Wednesday, The Final Reckoning grossed a solid $1.8 million, dropping just -14.3% from Tuesday across an impressive 89,000 screenings — matching its previous day's show count as per Luiz Fernando's report. What's noteworthy is the film's strong walk-up business, with a whopping 88.4% of Wednesday's tickets sold during the day, while only 11.6% came from pre-sales. In just six days, the film has reached $35.7 million ( Rs 300 crore) in China. With $200,000 already clocked in pre-sales for Thursday while maintaining 89,000 screen count, it's on track to outpace Dead Reckoning's entire Chinese run and could become the first Hollywood release since Venom: The Last Dance (October 2024) to cross the $50 million mark locally — likely by this weekend itself. The film in India as well is doign brisky business and it heading towards Rs 100 crore mark. Made on a staggering $400 million budget, The Final Reckoning needs to hit the elusive $1 billion milestone worldwide to turn a profit, factoring in marketing spends and revenue splits. With Cruise's enduring fanbase and a relentless global rollout, the mission doesn't seem impossible at all. The ensemble cast includes returning fan favorites Hayley Atwell as Grace, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Simon Pegg , Henry Czerny, Pom Klementieffs, and Esai Morales along with Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt.

Knowledge Nugget: India's First Polar Research Vehicle – A must-know for UPSC
Take a look at the essential concepts, terms, quotes, or phenomena every day and brush up your knowledge. Here's your knowledge nugget for today. (Relevance: Arctic sea ice has been shrinking for decades. Several expeditions have been sent to study the impact of climate change in this region. In 2018, a Mains question was asked on India's interest in the Arctic region. Prelims question was asked on the Arctic Council. In this regard, India's signing of the MoU for the building of the first-ever polar research vehicle is an important development for your UPSC exam.) On June 3rd, Kolkata-based Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Limited (GRSE), a Government of India undertaking, signed an MoU with Norwegian firm Kongsberg to co-design and build India's first-ever polar research vehicle (PRV) indigenously. GRSE, which has built warships, survey and research vessels, will build the PRV in its yard in Kolkata. 1. The MoU was signed in Oslo in the presence of Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal, who termed it 'a commitment to fostering scientific discovery, advancing India's capabilities in polar and ocean research, and contributing to global efforts to address pressing challenges like climate change.' 2. A PRV is a ship that serves as a platform for research in the polar regions (areas surrounding the North and South Poles). It can also help scientists undertake research in the ocean realm. The PRV will be equipped with the latest scientific equipment, enabling researchers to explore the oceans' depths and study marine ecosystems. 3. India currently operates three research base stations in the polar regions — Bharati and Maitri in Antarctica, and Himadri in the Arctic region — and had been planning to have its own PRV for a while now. 4. The National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR), operating under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, is the nodal agency responsible for the planning and execution of research expeditions to the Arctic, the Antarctic and the Himalayas. 5. The polar regions, the Arctic and Antarctica, offer pristine environments for scientists to study a range of natural phenomena for atmospheric, oceanic, biological, geological, glaciological and earth sciences research. In recent years, climate change research has been attracting scientists to the Arctic region. 6. Arctic sea ice has been shrinking for decades. In the last 40 years, the sea ice extent has been decreasing by 12.6% each decade, according to a 2023 report in the MIT Climate Portal. Expeditions have been sent to study lightning over the Arctic in winter, the role of precipitation in climate change, the characterisation of radio frequency environment, and the role of aerosols on climate change. In this regard, the decision to build the first-ever polar research vehicle is an important development. Research base stations of India 1. India signed the Svalbard Treaty in Paris in 1920. According to the website of arcticportal, 'The treaty establishes Norway's full and undivided sovereignty over Svalbard. Svalbard is part of the Kingdom of Norway, and it is Norway that ratifies and enforces the legislation that is to apply to the archipelago.' 2. It was not until 2007 that the first Indian expedition comprising five scientists visited the International Arctic Research Facilities at Ny-Ålesund with the purpose of initiating studies in Arctic microbiology, atmospheric sciences, and geology. India's permanent research station, Himadri, began operations in July 2008. 3. Dakshin Gangotri in Antarctica was set up in 1983, two years after India's first expedition there. Dakshin Gangotri is now submerged under ice, but India's two other stations, Maitri and Bharti, are in use. It is governed by the Antarctic Treaty. 4. The Antarctic Treaty was originally signed by 12 countries — Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway, the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union, Belgium, Japan, and South Africa — on December 1, 1959 to provide a framework for peaceful coexistence and scientific cooperation in the continent. 5. Currently, 56 countries are part of the treaty — 29 of which, including all 12 original signatories, are 'Consultative Parties', which are part of the decision-making process. India, which joined the treaty in 1983, is also a Consultative Party. 1. India is making bold moves in shipbuilding. The 2025 Union budget laid the foundation for a maritime resurgence, with mega clusters, a Rs 25,000-crore Maritime Development Fund (MDF), customs duty exemptions, and infrastructure status for large vessels. 2. The Rs 25,000 crore maritime development fund will be for distributed support and promoting competition. The government will contribute 49 per cent of the fund, with the remainder to be mobilised from ports and the private sector. 3. India is increasingly investing in shipbuilding clusters, as India's outward remittance on transport services is increasing with rising exports. In 2022, traders remitted over $109 billion as transport service charges. 4. MDF will facilitate the financing for ship acquisition with the aim of boosting the Indian flagged ships' share in the global cargo volume up to 20% by 2047. By 2030, MDF is aiming at generating upto ₹1.5 lakh crore investment in the shipping sector. 5. The Budget also extended the Shipbuilding Financial Assistance Policy (SBFAP) 2.0 with the total budget outlay of Rs 18,090 crore. It offers direct financial subsidies to Indian shipyards to enhance their competitiveness in the global market. (1) Consider the following statements: 1.
