S1.E2 ∙ There's No Place Like Storø

Sat, Apr 27, 2013

Every one is missing the comforts of home. Americo is disenchanted with camping; and Jack is uneasy around the younger, ambitious men. But their time in Greenland is limited, and it's time for the miners to begin prospecting. Eric's research shows that the creeks and rocky slopes in the area holds precious minerals; this leads the group to a nearby glacier basin. It's a race to the bottom after the team splits into two groups: Gator, John and Eric; and Jack, Chad and Americo. The teams act quickly as ominous skies and clouds move in. But for stragglers, Josh and Jesse, the early bid doesn't necessarily get the worm. Tensions rise as the brothers take their time to get ready in the morning, attempting to make up for it with their ambitious attitudes. The next morning, Josh, Jesse and Americo hike to a new location and begin panning. Within minutes, prospecting newbie Americo finds flecks of gold!

Sat, May 4, 2013

Gator and Americo are building bonds. After Americo finds gold, the miners' spirits are lifted, and they name the creek after him. The team plans to head back up to "Americo Falls," hoping to find more gold. The prospectors spread out along the stream-bed, and Eric moves about, checking in with each of the men on his progress. Chad and Jack are annoyed with Eric's overbearing behavior and confront him. Chad stakes his 23 years of experience on his theory that further prospecting of the area is pointless, and Eric argues that his 35 years of geology say otherwise. Later, Jesse and Eric decide to move south, sampling the terrain as they go. Excited about the rocks they're finding, Jesse points out that the terrain is becoming more perilous. For Jesse, Josh and Eric, one wrong step means certain death for all. John and Eric decide to pan together and find a large garnet - John's best find of the trip! Meanwhile, Chad, Americo and Gator scout an area north of base camp and notice a monstrous bird circling overhead - a sea eagle.

S1.E4 ∙ Hitting the Wall

Sat, May 11, 2013

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 search for what they know is on Storø: rubies and sapphires. It's been a month since the team has been in Greenland, and it's unclear as to whether everyone is on the same page. Greenland is taking a toll on the men; Jack begins to mentally check out, retreating to a rock by a stream; John feels the physical wear and tear; and Chad mends his strained calf and mourns the loss of his good friend and fellow miner, who died earlier this year. Knowing that time is running out, Jesse, Gator, Josh and Eric scout a waterfall above Blue Lake, where they find enough crystal structure to insist on a trip back the next day. Knowing how valuable the trip is to their company's future, Josh deems the area 'Hope Falls'. Coincidentally, Chad carries a vile of his mother's ashes with him everywhere. Her name? Hope. Later, during an evening meeting, the team is startled by a deafening avalanche. Rocks fall from a ridge high above the camp, creating plumes of dust in the air. Physically and mentally drained, the eight miners head back to Nuuk to regroup. In order to continue, they need to reassess how they're working as a company. Do they leave Storø, or do they decide to give it one last shot?

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.
