“The American Dream is very much alive, though, as you can see on Bering Sea Gold: Under the Ice, people are finding it in the most unlikely and challenging places,” Nancy Daniels, Executive Vice President, Production and Development for Discovery Channel, said in a press release. ”Cutting a hole through four feet thick ice and diving to the bottom of the Bering Sea, these modern-day gold miners show their determination and grit, and the depths they will go to earn a living.”
...."Unlike a lot of reality shows, "Under the Ice" is convincingly frightening. Even the smallest equipment failure can mean the difference between life and death, and as a viewer, you feel it. Imagine descending through a small opening in the ice into below-freezing water with limited visibility. If your miner's light fails, you can see nothing. The farther you wander from the hole in the ice, the more you put yourself in danger, not just because if something happens, you have only one way out and it's 50 feet away, but also because you are dependent on hot water being pumped from home base into your wet suit to prevent hypothermia.

This show is one of those where you can’t help but watch. I’m not sure if I’d put myself in harm’s way for money as these individuals do. It sure makes for good TV. I’m a big fan of the Discovery Channel and my Hopper DVR is always recording something on that channel. So I added Bering Sea to my timers to make sure I don’t miss anything. With 2,000 hours of recording time, I don’t have to worry about deleting any other shows I haven’t watched yet. A Dish co-worker suggested the upgrade a few months ago and I decided that it would be a good fit. Does anyone else think it’s crazy that a Opera singer has come all this way to dive for gold because she can’t afford to pay her bills?
