Plot Synopsis

Set in the historic town of Nome (population: 3,500), northwest Alaska's commercial hub and home of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race's finish line, the series gives an inside look at the everyday lives of gold prospectors and Alaskans alike. From public citizens panning the beaches to the folks that make up a commercial mining operation on the outskirts of town, each episode gives an inside look at the yearly expedition of 180 participants from the Gold Prospectors Association of America and how they survive and interact with the locals and surrounding townsfolk.
