Lewis Gordon Pugh, 37, will be the first person to swim at the geographic North Pole.

Water temperatures will be around minus 1.8 degrees Celsius - the coldest waters a human has ever swum in, a spokesperson said.

Pugh’s ability to raise his body temperature in anticipation of a swim has intrigued sports scientists and earned him the nickname The Polar Bear.

He is making the 1km swim, in an area that should be frozen over, to demonstrate the devastating impacts of climate change.

地球温暖化への警鐘を鳴らすための示威行為とはいえ…危険すぎます。
