The History Channel announced today that Alone is returning in June for its 13th season. For the first time in franchise history, 10 skilled survivalists from around the globe will compete in "Alone: World Championship."

Participants will be dropped inside Canada's Arctic Circle with just ten survival tools, and enough camera gear to self-document their experiences. The survivalists will battle against punishing weather, relentless isolation, and menacing predators local to the region such as grizzly bears, wolves, and moose. Whoever survives the longest takes home the $500,000 grand prize and will be crowned the first-ever Alone world champion.

Survivalists from seven different countries are represented including the United States, Canada, Wales, Australia, Slovenia, Portugal, and New Zealand.
