Swimming To Antarctica

Filed under: justaboutanything — cristyjones @ 6:32 pm

I came across the unique feat of a South Californian, Lynne Cox, who swam 1.22 miles in Antarctica at water temperatures of 32 degrees Celsius - temperature that can kill nearly anyone five minutes into the water. Super-human Lynne, huh? In a way, yes.But added to her big physique(ideal for low temperatures) are courage and determination which are surefire ingredients for the human spirit to come out triumphant.
