MUMBAI: The National Geographic channel is taking Indians and reality shows on a mission to the Arctic in its show Mission Artic which premiers on 9 June and will be aired every Saturday and Sunday at 9 pm,. The show will be anchored by VJ Yudi.
The show will take the top few contestants and the viewers to the unpredictable landscape, where they not only need to survive, but excel. Subjected to the freezing temperature and situations, the daredevil finalists will live like Samis, the natives of arctic, surviving without modern tools, cooking & eating whatever they can get their hands on and sea-kayaking in freezing waters. In a final task, the courageous contestants will race on dog sleds to plant the tricolour flag on Arctic?s highest peak.
Fox International Channels and National Geographic Network VP Debarpita Banerjee said, "National Geographic is known for its unprecedented access. We took our viewers inside the Vatican, the Mecca, the Rio- carnival to name a few, and in India, inside the Indian Navy, Air force, and last year, inside the grandeur and valor of the Indian Army. Living up to this tradition of taking the viewer to where eyes haven?t gone much, National Geographic Channel this year, takes few courageous Indians to the terrains of the Arctic. It will not only unfold what metal our youth is made of, it will also bring stunning visuals and larger-than life challenges of surviving one of the most rugged lives, right into our living rooms."
