Jake Gyllenhaal wants an adventure of survival and will team up with expert Bear Grylls for an upcoming episode of ‘Man vs. Wild.’

According to The Discovery Channel, the duo will head to Iceland together for the season premiere of the show, where they’ll find themselves surrounded by active volcanoes and massive glaciers.

So why did Gyllenhaal decide to make the trip with Grylls?

“For me, it’s all about discovery,” Gyllenhaal said of the experience.

“The wild is always very revealing — not only physically but mentally. You’ve got to smile when it’s driving horizontal hail and be able to face your fears and just get on and do it — and on both of those accounts, Jake came up strong,” Grylls added.

This isn’t the first time a celebrity has joined Grylls on one of his expeditions. Will Ferrell teamed up with Grylls on a trip to Northern Sweden in 2009.

Gyllenhaal’s episode will premiere on July 11th on The Discovery Channel.
