NBC announced the news that the president, who is travelling to Alaska this week, will join Grylls on Exit Glacier in Alaska’s Kenai Mountains “to observe the effects of climate change on the area.”
But Obama won’t just be observing; he will also get a “crash course in survival techniques” from Grylls, according to NBC.
On the series, which is in its second season, Grylls shows celebrities how to survive in a rugged terrain. Past stars have included Channing Tatum, Ben Stiller and Kate Hudson.
During the Obama presidency, the leader has appeared in various and sometimes off-beat places to push a topic and agenda.
