The Great Icelandic Swim with Ross Edgley

A record‑setting swimmer embarks on a full circuit of Iceland’s shoreline, tackling roughly a thousand miles of open water. Over the course of 116 days she battles the relentless chill and unpredictable conditions that characterise some of the planet’s most unforgiving seas, maintaining an impressive stamina throughout. The journey, which stretches across the entire coast, sees the athlete maintain a steady pace despite the harsh Atlantic currents and icy temperatures. In total, the expedition covers about one thousand miles, a distance accomplished in just under four months while navigating some of Earth’s most hostile marine environments, a feat that underscores her extraordinary endurance.
