Re-join the hardy American prospectors as they go for gold as the massive ice sheet melts on Greenland, revealing immense mineral wealth in the virgin rock.
The miners' journey through brutal terrain and extreme emotion is recapped.
With never before seen footage we highlight the first two summers of our miners' journey through the arctic battling harsh conditions and isolation. A sneak peak into year three reveals unprecedented dangers that lie ahead.
Welcome to Greenland, the most imposing island on Earth. Every summer, its massive ice sheet melts, revealing immense potential for mineral wealth in the virgin rock below. Now, a group of eight American prospectors have banded together to strike it rich.
With only 6 weeks left, the 60 Degree Resources miners already have their first target on Storø. Finding accessible targets within close distance to the camp is crucial for the success of the expedition. Their window of opportunity is closing by the day.
High on his discovery with the Feldmans at the now named 'Americo Creek,' Americo reports back to the team at the miners meeting about his find. John is elated, and despite some naysaying from Gator, the entire team decides to go back to investigate.
Typically, miners believe that 'gold rides on an iron horse,' but this is not true for Greenland. Based on their resources and time, the miners, physically and mentally drained, search for what they know is on Storø: rubies and sapphires.
After having been battered by a massive storm, the miners must band together to fix the damage to their camp. Spirits are low, and tensions begin to mount as the team loses faith in its operation.
With only 10 days left in Greenland, few resources and no proof of any worth on Storø, the team has one last chance. Rubies are on the island of Fiskenaesset, but with only four spots on the helicopter who gives them the best chances of striking it rich?
The miners learn the rules have changed when they try to claim their find.
The miners battle the elements after setting their sights on a new target.
The miners set out for the Red Zone and face brutal terrain and isolation.
The miners are battling Greenland from two fronts with half the team finding huge rubies at the Red Zone and the other half dredging for gems in the river below.
While Josh, Chad and John are down at base camp prepping the dredge to move to the upper lake, the Red Zone team are pulling out rubies by the scores, but with low food supply and pending bad weather, the team has to muster its strength to finish the job.
Forced to leave their precious Ruby deposit before Greenland devours them, the miners execute phase two of their operation within the few weeks they have left.
The miners are almost at season's end. With winter closing in, and time running out, Josh and Eric arrive in Eqi, north of the Arctic Circle, for one last shot at gold, while the rest of the team focuses on dredging for rubies.
It's the miner's last week and Greenland has not only gotten into their heads but she is exposing their inner demons. With only days left before she covers her gifts up for the winter, The Beast reveals the chinks in their resolve.
After a possible brush with death in Iceland, the team discovers some devastating news about the 13 million dollar ruby deposit they have been working on for a year and a half.
Our miners begin their journey into Greenland's unexplored and unforgiving wilderness in search ultimate treasure. While half the team discovers what could be a massive gold deposit, the rest of the team finds themselves stranded 5 miles from camp.
On almost no sleep, our miners have split into two groups and set out into Greenland's dangerous landscape for a recon mission. While they battle the symptoms of sleep deprivation, one group of miners face a deadly valley with massive falling boulders.
Time is running short in Saqqaq and Eric pushes the team to explore every corner of the mountains surrounding their basecamp for gold treasure. After Jesse and Gator refuse, Americo, follows Eric up a deadly 1200 ft slope to sample for gold.
Eric, our lead geologist, continues to battle gold fever as he pushes himself and his team well past their limits in order to find gold. The miners have only two days left at camp to explore the three most dangerous areas in Saqqaq.
After a week of tireless prospecting in an unstable area of Greenland known as Saqqaq, our seven miners were able to make two gold claims potentially worth millions. A new addition to the team is introduced, a Greenlandic camp guard dog named Nuunu.
With half their equipment destroyed in the sling drop, the members of Sixty-Degree Resources find themselves scattered. Not to mention trapped on a dangerously remote island surrounded by ice in every direction called Cloud Island.
In a last ditch effort to salvage Cloud Island, arctic expeditionist Doug Stoup, leads the miners fearlessly across a fractured ice sheet to collect samples. In Ilulissat, Eric's scientific methods are wearing thin on the Feldman brothers.
The gold of Eqi, Greenland, might be Sixty Degree Resources final hope. The seven miners are about to reach their tipping point. Even though Saqqaq was a success, Cloud Island was a huge failure and their faith in Eric's strategy is losing steam.
When fighting the beast within, every man has his threshold. After weeks of tension among the miners, they prepare to depart from Eqi. Butthe gloves come off for a fight between Eric and the Feldman's that may split the team forever.
After an irreparable disagreement between Eric and Josh, the miners have split into two factions. Josh's team runs into ice berg- sized trouble as Eric and his team stay the course that was originally planned.
With only 48 hours left to explore Greenland, the jaws of the arctic winter are closing in on the miners of Sixty Degree Resources.
