Barack Obama is to venture into the Alaskan wilderness with British adventurer Bear Grylls for a television programme, it has been announced.
The US President will team up with the survival expert to explore the impact climate change is having on the environment.
The special edition of Running Wild with Bear Grylls will be broadcast later this year, NBC said.
In a statement the television network said: “President Obama will meet with Grylls while visiting Alaska to observe the effects of climate change on the area. The two will then come together in the Alaskan Wilderness.
