Under the glacial ice sheets of Greenland, the world's largest island, sits more mineral wealth than in all of Saudi Arabia 16.2 billion barrels of oil, 138 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and an immeasurable amount of gold, silver, platinum, sapphire, ruby and other precious minerals. Ice Cold Gold follows mercenary American speculators as they fight against the freezing elements, international miners, and four short summer months to claim their stake at the top of the world. With no roads the miners have to build infrastructure as they go and camp, hike, hunt and fish to stay alive. The clock is ticking - just as quickly as the ice melts, revealing a fortune - it freezes back again. Its a dangerous race to the top of the world but if they strike it rich the payoff with be worth the fight.
