Just saw today that Lewis Gordon Pugh, adventurer and swimming nut, is going to swim a full one kilometer at the north pole to highlight the fact that there is not ice where there should be…his swim would not have been possible just a few years ago. I completely relate to Lewis, not just because he is raising awareness like us, not just because like us he is highlighting melting polar ice caps, but also because i, like Lewis is about to, went swimming in arctic water….except that my scrawny body lasted all of about 3 seconds in the water, and it was not pretty….watch the youtube video here for the full gorey 60 seconds of drama. All i can atest is that what Lewis is planning on doing is 100% truely mental. Nutter!
