That's one cold sumbitch! Great video. Couple things Frank, where do l order one of your shirts? And is your museum open to the public? We would love to come visit it.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

www.bonfire.com/franks-campaign-66/ just give me a call if you are in Grand Forks and if I am around you can come by 250-444-0183

[@budinfield9064]

Thanks Frank! Got me a long sleeve black, will see if the wife wants one later. I might pick up the hoodie too. What size do you wear? I'm trying to see what size to order. I got an XL in the long sleeve

Seeing that ice is like seeing something right out of a movie in an ice cave, it's just amazing!

[@20PINKluvr]

This is one of the prettiest mines I've ever seen!

[@DaleDuffy]

Really an extensive mine, absolutely incredible video, Frank....!

[@rallyben05]

Great video! Enjoyed having Roger along on this one. You should have a follow up on the samples taken and see what the assay reports say, or a further explanation of the rock samples that were brought back. It's always interesting to learn how the miners decide what rocks to mine and their techniques in moving the ore around.

[@vincenthiggins6091]

Wow what a sight I was blown away!

[@misterangel8486]

Humongously beautiful and interesting👍 Wauw, what a sight to see❤️

[@peterbrameld696]

A great video, the ice formations are fantastic!

[@frequencyfluxfandango8504]

Generally speaking: Anyone who's into anything should see this. Fantastic one Frank. Cheers.

[@BENJIMANE]

The last part when you kick over the ice was probably my favorite part! That definitely made me laugh

[@Lalunabreeze]

Wow, that’s one magnificent mine. This mine is enormous. Thank you Frank👍🏼❤️✅

[@rallyrobb943]

Only 30k views!?!? No way!!! The beginning entry where you're breaking through multiple ice walls is more entertaining and fun than half the videos on KZbin! Great mine and awesome video, as usual. Thanks my man!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

30,001 now!

[@seandepoppe6716]

Beautiful ice structures! Can't wait to see the rest!

[@jossmaxwell00]

Great mine guys and so different from the hot ones. look forward to you revisiting this one for sure.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: The mines I’ve explored over the last six months have allot of great geology but none of them have the amount of left behind artifacts, tools and equipment compared to Canadian mines. That’s what makes watching your videos so much damn fun Frank. That three way track switch was a very cool find.

[@rdamp2374]

Great finds nice ice doors and winter wonder land.Can not wait for another video.Keep it up Frank

[@keithcookman2918]

I love hearing the history of individual mines.. thanks men..

[@belindaraymer255]

Thanks! I’ll never get to do this due to disability. I’m glad you video and let me feel as if I’ve done it with you. Keep up the good work!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Don't feel bad, very few people would want to either even if they could! Cheers Frank

[@volktales7005]

A couple of weeks ago, I never even thought about mines, let alone watching anything about them. Ya got me hooked, now Frank. Love your adventures, and appreciate your enthusiasm and knowledge about these mines and their workings and history. Subscribed and watching all your back episodes. Anyox was awesome!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks Anyox is awesome!

[@Ty-tie_FTW]

Man, your videos kick ass! And to think, you came up by my house to try to explore the closed mines up hayden creek in north idaho. Your a celebrity! Keep up the great work and be safe!

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

One of your best !

[@xXHatchetRunnerXx]

That was so awesome the way the ice formed in the mine and you just broke through. So bad ass! Keep up these awesome videos!

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Thanks for sharing another fascinating adventure into a very cool mine. Enjoyed watching, take care and be safe.

[@hillsidehillside3095]

!!!!!! COOL !!( A )!!!!! Thanks Frank !!!!!!!!!

[@RailPreserver2K]

You guys truly were in the Hall of the Ice King I don't know if you could do so but I recommend taking pictures of those ice formations because they look almost exactly like what you'd see in a natural cave and plus they're very 'cool' to see

[@luis-carneiro]

Thanks for sharing your adventures! Great footage!

[@Moeledon]

. *love what you do brother stay safe* .

Frank this was amazing thanks for doing what you do👍

[@jonesfactor9]

Coming back in the summer Frank, looks like lots to explore once you get by the water.

[@SaturdayNightSlamMaster1980]

My new favourite exploring KZbinr. Hello from Saskatchewan! 😎

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Hi.....great to have you on board!

[@peter15871]

think if you fell on the floor on top of those ice staliagmites it would definately shrink your piles if you had any , but that looks to be a great mine, look forward to another visit frank, nice to have rodger along to say what the rocks are,exellent video .

[@WacKEDmaN]

thats a cool mine! (no pun intended!)..thanks Frank

[@SyphonGaming]

Isn't it just a n-ice mine to be in...

[@andrewkiwi1]

Another awesome video from you Frank.

[@oxskirra]

Whoa frank, move slow around them ice stalagmites lol. Excellent explore love the ice forms that many wont ever see. Thanks for exploring

[@barbararobinson7980]

Frank, there's always a first for everything - breaking in to a mine! Although it was your only option to break though the ice otherwise it would have been a very short explore. The ice formations were beautiful. You made some nice finds too like the ore cart, the 3 way track switch and the miner's art depicting a mule pulling a cart. Hope you get the opportunity to explore some more levels. Thank you Frank and Rodger. Stay safe 👍 ❤️

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Oh for sure. I am heading back up there with my son Kane in the next couple of weeks........see if he can keep up with the old man!

[@mattspurgeon2347]

Another bad ass video by a bad ass explorer! Thanks for doing what you do Frank! I love this bud!!

Awesome mine, cant wait for the next exploration(s) of this one!!!

[@johnrobinson357]

Very nice!! I am sure you will be back to see more. Nice to see it was not trashed out by those that came before you both. Respectable. Lots more to see there - it will be wet.....

[@TheHungrySlug]

That ice sounds like someone's breaking Glass. Such a COOL place to explore. Thank You Frank for sharing another awesome old mine. Now I'll sleep happy for another week.

[@timdeud1615]

When i was a young boy i thought it was cool to enter a cave alone with no knowledge or plans at all, just somewhere in southern France. I was stuck in there for almost a full day as i was totally lost. Please follow this man's adivce! @28:42. Interesting video, i loved it.

[@selfproclaimednobody4614]

Really beautiful stuff. Sitting in a 101°F in Dallas Texas, watching you freeze your asses off. Haha. Just found your channel this morning and have been binge watching for two hours so far.

I like how a ghost appears at 26:45 to the left of the ice door and disappears, then shows again at 26:51 and then disappears. Great Mine!

[@redlinemando]

@Craig Connors I saw that but thought it was some kind of glitch in the footage. lol

[@donogoobo9992]

Great explore! Exploration 101: Always step at the sides of stairs, ladders and ramps. Wood, steel or composite. They all deteriorate. Watched two kids exploring a rusted out mine Mill. On the third floor, they would step through the steel flooring at every step. I kept yelling at them to stay over the beams, but they wouldn't listen. Kids!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I fell through a false floor this week lucky it was only 6 feet but landed in muddy water.

[@donogoobo9992]

@@exploringabandonedmines I will keep two extra fingers crossed for you. Couldn't hurt.... The worst are those you think to be reasonably OK, but at the first step it disappears and there is no sound of anything hitting bottom and the darkness just makes it worse. As they paratroops say, "You have the rest of your life to think about it."

In the shot just before this one, his friend was walking in front of him. I think it was just his buddy turning around for a moment, after passing through the ice door in front

those guys really worked hell out of that mine . that took a lot of skill and balls. those open large open stopes in that slabby ground without much ground support, makes the boys twinge . even with chainlink and rebar, I wouldn't be comfortable under a hole that big . give me a drift in the Canadian shield anyday .

I look forward to the next installment on this mine. Also liked the snow mobile ride at the end. If the mine is plugged at the bottom, I wonder what it would take to unplug it and drain it out? I guess that would be considered tampering with private property.
