ICE COLD GOLD spotlights a spirited team of miners who are among the first Americans to prospect for precious metals and gems in parts of Greenland where humans never have set foot before. The miners' mission is to strike it rich during the impossibly tight window between Greenland's vast winter months. These men have left behind their families, friends and homeland to face the odds while struggling to survive against the harshest of conditions.

Sixty Degree Resources, a small American mining company, returned to Greenland for another battle with the beast.

Now, they are ready to claim their prize, but the risks are so much more than they bargained for. As they drop back down into the capital city Nuuk, the team quickly discovers the rules have changed once again. Industry, mining companies and claim jumpers also descend on the island. The miners must get everything together quickly in order to make it back to the rubies before anyone else does. But with time and the elements against them, is it already too late?

In the Red

The miners embark for the Red Zone and dive into the rich ruby deposit they discovered last year, but the mercurial weather, brutal terrain and extreme isolation oppose the miners' every move.

Getting back to the Red Zone after a year of anticipation is both triumphant and daunting. Punchdrunk with the first signs of ruby fever, the miners quickly get hit with a harsh reality: Greenland throws a wrench into their plans, and the beast from within starts to rear its ugly head.

The Rise and Fall of the Ruby Empire
Thu, Apr 10, 201441 mins
While Josh, Chad and John are down at base camp prepping the dredge to move to the upper lake, Eric and the Red Zone team are pulling out rubies by the scores, but it's a hard-won success. With food supplies almost nonexistent and weather turning from bad to worse on a dime, the team is mustering all its strength to make this venture a success. John desperately wants to see the rubies on his 50th birthday, so he makes a foolhardy hike to the Red Zone with more than 50 pounds of reindeer meat on his back. It's a dangerous trek never before done by any human, and with the wrong intentions, he puts the team at severe risk with his choice to redeem himself. Meanwhile, Eric gets a bad case of ruby fever and successfully ventures farther and deeper into the Red Zone. The miners find a deposit a hundred times better than their first and confirm they could be sitting at the epicenter of the largest ruby band in the world. They find one particular ruby worth $200,000, but with ruby fever in full swing, the team members begin to mistrust themselves and each other. Eric tries to take control but ends up breaking the ruby that could have paid for the whole season. The group's low morale is saved when John arrives with reindeer meat, but time and weather are forcing them to leave the Red Zone in two days. In the mad rush to take care of business, the team begins to unravel again, and adding John into the mix only stirs the pot worse.

He has no choice but to force the team into Greenland's treacherous unknown to search for gold and keep the company alive. But before Eric can leave, some members of the team turn rogue, possibly threatening create mutiny to the whole operation.

Chad faces scorn once the team discovers that Chad and Josh dropped the dredge in an area that's not even on their claim. And, the miners are unhappy when they're forced to move the quarter-ton machine half a mile before they can begin their search for rubies. Eric's research has him convinced that there are riches in Eqi, and he and Josh must venture into the unknown to seek a new deposit during terrible, trapping weather. Is the dredge worth the investment, and does Chad's reputation hit rock bottom? Can Josh and Eric uncover a mountain of gold before Greenland sends them packing?
