Ten new survivalists have a chance to win $500,000 by enduring the coldest location in the history of Alone: The Arctic. Participants grapple with a harsh storm out of the gate.
The adventure begins as ten new participants are abandoned in the remote wilderness of Patagonia to live as long as they possibly can. Faced with the unforgiving terrain of a foreign land and the onset of winter, each must act quickly to adapt to their new environment in order to survive.
As they close in on the one week mark, the survivalists make some risky choices in order to eat. Serious infection becomes a very real possibility, driving one participant to consider pulling out early.
As they venture deeper into their surroundings, the nine remaining survivalists realize that this terrain is unlike anything they've ever experienced. One participant suffers a serious injury.
The remaining survivalists start seeing their hard work pay off as they procure food. But as the days mount and the isolation continues, contestants start to notice the physical and mental toll of surviving arctic.
