		</div><p>Barack Obama is to venture into the Alaskan wilderness with British adventurer Bear Grylls for a television programme, it has been announced.</p>
<p>The US President will team up with the survival expert to explore the impact climate change is having on the environment.</p>
<p>The special edition of Running Wild with Bear Grylls will be broadcast later this year, NBC said.</p>
<p>In a statement the television network said: &#8220;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.</p>
<p>&#8220;President Obama will become the first US president to receive a crash course in survival techniques from Bear Grylls. The visit will be taped and aired on NBC later this year.&#8221;</p>
<p>Located at America&#8217;s extreme north-western tip, Alaska is known for its icy terrain, mountains and freezing temperatures, which plummet to as low as minus 80F (minus 62C).</p>
<p>Brown and black bears roam the state while polar bears are found along its coast.</p>
<p>Eton-educated Grylls, who has served with the SAS and wrestled sharks and alligators, has taken a string of celebrities on one-on-one adventures to test their survival skills on the series.</p>
<p>So far, actresses Kate Winslet and Kate Hudson and Magic Mike star Channing Tatum have all taken part in the show.</p>
<p>President Obama recently pledged to lead the world&#8217;s efforts in tackling climate change and announced plans to slash US carbon emissions.</p>
<p>Grylls posted a link to a video of President Obama’s weekly address in which he laid out his plans to visit Alaska to assess the impact greenhouse gases are having on the environment.</p>

<p>In it, President Obama said many Alaskans work as fishermen and are already living with the effects of climate change.</p>
<p>And he warned four villages are &#8220;in imminent danger&#8221; and have to be relocated, while rising sea levels are beginning to swallow one island community.</p>
<p>President Obama told Americans: &#8220;Think about that. If another country threatened to wipe out an American town we would do everything in our power to protect ourselves.</p>
<p>&#8220;Climate change poses the same threat right now.&#8221;</p>
