> The 39-year-old ultramarathon swimmer has spent the last four months experiencing towering waves, freezing temperatures, and inquisitive local wildlife, while circumnavigating the Nordic island.
> The challenge has seen **parts of his tongue fall off from prolonged exposure to saltwater**, as well as moments of beauty in the rugged landscape.
Bloody hell, that’s dedication!
Not his first rodeo:
> Ross, from Cheshire, is no stranger to endurance events like this. In 2018, he swam nearly 1,800 miles around the coast of Great Britain and earned a Guinness World Record for swimming 317 miles along the Yukon River in Canada.
He doesn’t have the type of physique I’d expect from a long distance swimmer. Either way, that’s absolutely insane. The waters around Iceland are very dangerous
Can we get British Thor vs Worlds Hardest Geezer to settle the title for who really is the hardest?
That boys an animal. The determination and will to do that, and swim round the uk, is bonkers
Is this the massive bicep guy that was on Disney’s ‘Limitless’ with Chris Hemsworth?
Doesn’t the saltwater screw up your skin / mouth / tongue after all that time?
I’m like a shrivelled up prune after 40 minutes in the bath
That’s amazing.
But I think I’ll just have another cup of tea and a biscuit.
