I've seen bits of the other ones and they did nothing for me. One really grossed me out. Some obnoxious character found some virgin creek in the Yukon and brought in a front loader of some sort IIRC and dug a deep pit in a creek bed. I don't recall if they had much of a haul. The northwest US is supposedly littered with abandoned sites something like that.
I don't imagine these Greenland guys would be any more PC for a vironmentalist like me. I was fascinated by the show mainly because of the rugged Greenland terrain. They discovered (supposdedly) some rubies in the last episode, just by hunting for signs of them and one guy stumbled upon a bunch of them showing their little faces right out of the rock. They extracted what they could from the surface in the one day they had left there and implied they would be back. God only knows what sort of mayhem they're going to visit on that bit of mountain to get at all the rubies they can find.
