"Man Vs. Wild" returns Monday, January 12 at 10PM ET/PT with all-new episodes that push adventurer Bear Grylls to the limit, as he navigates through some of the most extreme and challenging conditions he's faced yet.

Shot entirely in high-definition, the new episodes take Grylls to Transylvania, Turkey, Belize, the Yukon Peninsula, and through the Badlands of Oregon, before heading to the Dominican Republic during hurricane season. The ultimate adventure expert, Grylls uses his vast knowledge and survival expertise - which are tried and tested throughout these episodes - to show viewers how to get out of each location alive. The new episodes continue the hit Discovery Channel series' third season, which began last August.

These latest expeditions bring Grylls face-to-face with a killer bear, a deadly scorpion, a nine-foot boa constrictor and countless other dangers. He's forced to scale hundred-foot waterfalls, feast on bear excretions (among other less-than-gourmet delicacies), and tackle some of the worst mosquito-infested swamps he's seen, all in the name of survival. The invaluable survival techniques that Grylls portrays on "Man Vs. Wild" have been credited with saving various lives.

An ex-Special Forces soldier, Bear Grylls was trained as a survival expert in the British army, has a black belt in karate and is an experienced high-altitude mountaineer. Grylls has channeled his daring spirit into feats such as the highest-ever dinner party at a table suspended below a hot air balloon at 24,500 feet, and the first unassisted crossing of the frozen North Atlantic Ocean in an open rigid inflatable boat.

In addition, in 1998 at age 23, Bear became the youngest British climber to ever complete a summit and descent of Mount Everest. Last year, Bear returned to the Himalayas to conquer a new dream - attempting to fly a powered paraglider higher than Everest. Through this expedition, Bear and his team donated over $2.5 million to charities, including $600,000 to the Global Angels Foundation, a charity that supports long-term projects for underprivileged children worldwide.

One of Bear's upcoming expeditions will involve leading a team through remote areas of Antarctica to promote alternative energy and biofuels as a sustainable resource for the future, which will benefit the Global Angels Foundation.
