The Great Icelandic Swim with Ross Edgley
Realm of the Eagle
Season 1 Episode 2 of 3
Ross takes on the north of Iceland. As storms roll in from the Arctic, Ross faces huge seas, currents that send him backwards and freezing waters fed by Greenland's rapidly melting ice sheets. As he reaches the Arctic Circle, the crew celebrate, but Ross' body begins to fail. Exhaustion and rotting salt wounds threaten deadly cellulitis. After 60 punishing days, and 438 miles, he is badly behind schedule
The Great Icelandic Swim with Ross Edgley airs on Channel 4 at 8:00 PM, Saturday 14 February. (Subtitles, new, audio description.)
