A New Gold Frontier

Greenland's arctic climate means the country's mineral resources have been trapped deep beneath the ice for tens of thousands of years. But climate change is melting the ice and exposing new ground making it possible to prospect for gold, precious stones and minerals. 6 total strangers from across the United States set out on the mission of a lifetime to Greenland's stark and sometimes brutal landscape. Barely 24 hours into the 12-week mining season they face a disastrous delay and leader, Ray, discovers mining in Greenland is more of a challenge than he thought. Will the team have what it takes to overcome the harshest terrain, ever-changing weather and extreme isolation to make their dreams come true before winter closes in and shuts them down?
