Obama's video selfie on climate change in Alaska

President Barack Obama used a selfie stick to record a video urging for more to be done to protect the 'spectacular' landscape from the effects of climate change.

Obama recorded the video as he walked around Kenai Fjords National Park, showing an 'incredible' 360 degree view.

More pictures have also emerged from his encounter with adventurer Bear Grylls in Alaska.

Obama met up with Bear Grylls to film an episode of his survival show.

He uploaded a selfie online and said: "Glad this is the only Bear I met in the park - bo."

Last night Bear Grylls responded with his own selfie with the President, captioned: "Such special moments all through this journey & what you are doing to help protect our planet in inspiring."

He also uploaded a shot of them filming the survival episode, with the biblical quote: "Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

The special edition of Grylls' Running Wild will air later this year, according to NBC.

In President Obama's video the president shows the 'beautiful' scenery in the national park and close up shots of how the glaciers are melting.

President Obama added: "When you have warming taking place twice as fast in Alaska as it is in the bottom 48 states, that is melting glaciers and blocks of ice, that's raising sea levels and you start getting an accelerated pace of climate change over all."
