Ever been to Greenland? If you get a chance — be warned that you might be so entranced you'll never be able to quit the place. “Ice Cold Gold” executive producer David Casey visited once and headed back with this Animal Planet show, now heading into its second season (the season premiere is Thurs. March 6 at 10:00 p.m., but you can catch up on the first season series finale tonight as well). We talked to Casey about how he got prospectors on board even though doing a TV series about what's supposed to be a top secret dig seems like it would be pretty tough (it wasn't), the dangers and challenges of digging (and visiting) Greenland despite increasing temperatures, and the connection between Greenland and Oscar-nominated “Gravity” (there really is one!). We had fun — and we hope you do, too.
