In the all new series of Bear Grylls: Born Survivor, Bear undergoes his most demanding tests yet. The six-part run kicks off with a special featuring actor Jake Gyllenhaal. Bear wants to see how the award-winning actor matches up in a head- to-head contest with mother nature. For two gruelling days and two nights, the pair undergo a survival challenge neither of them will ever forget. They are forced to negotiate a massively intimidating Icelandic landscape dominated by mountains, glaciers and some of the world’s most active volcanoes. In later episodes, Bear embarks on a hugely taxing journey traversing new Zealand’s highest mountain range, the 30,000 feet Southern Alps; he heads to Iceland, the land of fire and ice, and is helicoptered onto the ice on top of an active volcano, before making his way down a treacherous glacier in blinding blizzard conditions. he then journeys to the red rock canyons of southern utah, the heart of America’s Wild West, where he crosses an arid wilderness and finds himself hanging 100 feet above a terrifying ravine. All this – and Bear’s craziest aeroplane stunt ever!
