On the mountains, far north, inside a frozen lake, a blur of a man appears with a saw on his grips. The ice harvester slices through the ice layer with his saw. The first group of burly Ice harvesters starts their mining by making initial, parallel cuts through an ice sheet with saws, while also begin to sing a song about the legendary Frozen heart curse.
"Born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining..." Another group of ice harvesters came out of their carriage with saws and three-pronged bars (resemble pitchforks).
"This icy force both foul and fair has a frozen heart worth mining..." another gather of four harvesters together mine the ice with their three-pronged bars.
"So cut through the heart, cold and clear, strike for love and strike for fear, see the beauty sharp and sheer..." Three ice harvester used their pitchforks to separate the blocks of ice. More harvesters arrived with a blonde seven-years-old orphan boy and his young reindeer joining them. The blond boy stops. He smiles and grabs a carrot from his coat. He lets his reindeer gobbles a bite from it before he eats it.
"Split the ice apart! And break the frozen heart..." An ice harvester pulls a block of ice out of the water using his pitchfork. Another one behind him broke the ice into two halves with his pickaxe. Another ice harvester lifts an ice block out of the water using his tong.
"Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!" Two harvesters on the right pull the switch to raise the pulley system — which is used to place new ice blocks on top of the previous load — while another one at the left hits the chain with his pickaxe to secure the carriage in place. There are two fjord horses, which probably used to drag the cart. The child and his reindeer step out of the man's way. After that, they followed them in a self-centered manner.
"Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!" Three ice harvesters catch and pick up the blocks of ice using their tongs with no struggle. Well, except the child who mimics them but failed to raise his ice block.
"Beautiful! Powerful!" One of them spoke as they carried their ice blocks with their tongs behind their backs.
"Dangerous! Cold!" Another one said as his breath becomes visible because of the cold as the night falls.
"Ice has magic, can't be controlled!" Two ice harvesters got out from the lake as chunks of ice rose to them. They turned around and stabbed the ice using their three-pronged bar.
"Stronger than one! Stronger than ten! Stronger than a hundred men!" Five massive fjord horses were carrying sleds filled with giant blocks of ice. They walked straight; cutting through the ice sheet by the saws attached to plows as five Ice harvesters steering the way behind them.
"Hyup!" Another five Ice harvesters shouted as they split ice blocks in front of them with pickaxes.
The young boy almost lifted his ice block, yet he failed when the block of ice slipped out of his tong's hold and flung to the air, then falls back into the water, sending splashes into the boy's face. His reindeer calf licked his right cheek.
"Born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining..." The night fell as two ice harvesters pull a big bar of ice out of the water with pitchforks. Another two ice harvesters using their three-pronged bars to transport the blocks through the water into their cart. A group of ice harvesters carries their block behind their back as they walked into the wagon.
"This icy force both foul and fair has a frozen heart worth mining..." a bearded ice harvester ignites a torch to light the lantern. Three lamposts were made of lanterns attached on three wooden canes to light the areas with each three ice harvesters, six of them stabbing on the ice with their pickaxes while the other three checking on the lights and observing their teammates' work.
"Cut through the heart, cold and clear, strike for love and strike for fear..." An ice harvester split his ice block while the others carried them to the carriage. The boy even has a lantern as he succeeds to lift his block of ice. But it proved to be heavy for him. His reindeer aided him before he falls, throwing the ice behind him. The reindeer pushed his friend as the child looked at him and laughed.
"There's a beauty and there's a danger here. Split the ice apart!" an ice harvester loaded the accumulated ice onto the pulley system. He raised the pulley arrangement by pulling down the rope, which is attached to it. As the cart's load increases, another ice harvester drags the new harvested ice block with his tong to the other blocks.
"Beware the frozen heart..." The ice harvesters finished their song as all of them go back to their fully loaded carriage to return to Arendelle to sell the ice. The boy dragged his ice block onto his small sled as his reindeer calf was holding a lantern on his mouth to light their way.
"Come on Sven!" He urged Sven as they followed before the cart. Night falls as the northern lights shining the land with their beautiful rays.
