Alone Season 11 looks to take it up a notch in intensity by bringing a cast of 10 new contestants to its most remote location yet.
History Channel's hit reality series follows 10 contestants exploring ways to survive as long as possible in a remote part of Canada's Northwest Territories, 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
Each participant can choose only 10 items from a pre-approved stash of allowable gear and is given a kit of standard equipment, clothing, and first aid. The last remaining contestant will win $500,000.
Alone Season 11 premiered on the History Channel on June 13.
