Lewis Gordon Pugh, an English explorer, swam in the coldest water of North Pole on July 15th.

The water temperature is 1.8 ℃ below 0℃, that is the coldest one in swiming history. Lewis swam 1 kms in 19 minutes. The only thing he weared were a swimming hat, pants and glass.

Why he did so? It is said he intended to emphasize the impact of global warming to environment. What do you think of his behavior?

It's an old saying the mad Englishman goes out into to the mid-day sun.
Yes, we are supposed to be gentlemen Evening, I would like to think I am anyway, neverless I have done some pretty mad things in my life but not as brave as this man.
