Synopsis
A group of celebrities treks over 2000 miles across Norway to the edge of the Arctic Circle at 71 Degrees North. Each week sees the group split into two teams, each guided by a team leader, in order to complete a one or two-day task. After the task is complete, the winning team receives a night of luxury in a log cabin or similar, while the other team must spend another night under canvas. There then follows the immunity challenge, which sees each celebrity compete individually, with the celebrity who fares the best winning immunity in that day's vote, and also becoming one of the team leaders in the following week's task. In the vote, each celebrity must secretly reveal who they would like to see leave the group, with the celebrity who receives the most votes being sent home.
