I've been watching vid clips on the history channel.com site some really great footage! I was hoping the show would have more info on the Canadian Diamond mines themselves. The Debeers Snap lake project is their first venture outside of Africa and supposedly one of the largest underground mines in the world. So far I've only seen trucks running to the operations in Yellowknife and nothing to De Beers site at Snap Lake? I here the temps underground are about 52-58 degree which would'nt be bad at all.

This show looks awesome. If anyone checked out the videos on the History Channel's mini-site and heard the temps they were talking about and thought, "that's in degrees celcius..." Well, -40C is equal to -40F. Tivo set. This show looks awesome.

His coworkers told him that the temperature has to get below -10F for it to be considered safe to cross. That's pretty cold for a guy who's used to working in Texas.

He said the scariest part was passing one of those larger-than-we've-ever-seen trucks and hearing the cracks and groans below. He really appreciated the extra-wide roads to stay as far away as possible. Of course, without a truck nearby, he felt perfectly safe knowing he weighed significantly less. If the ice could hold them, it certainly could hold him. Although I'm not a hunter, I would've liked to go, just for that.

At least that's what the left wing eco-friendly green freaks would have you believe! ;) J/K Seriously though, that takes some stones to do. Can't imagine listening to the "road" crack and groan under the weight of my vehicle. “I think that I read somewhere that the driving season is getting shorter and more dangerous because of global warming.”
