Am I the only one watching this in 2021?
Lewis made the swim in the middle of July. That's the middle of Summer in the northern hemisphere, hence the lack of solid ice cap.
Still needed an icebreaker to get there in the middle of summer.
komu kazali na angielskim oglądać XD
So awesome! But I don't agree with climate change as it is either false or not caused by humans.
This man incredible,awesom and perfect. I want this man's ambition to be mine
no chapit
Solo comentarios en ingles :"v
super duper cold!!!!!!
The few thumbs down kinda look like christian/republican shaped thumbs, sorta like tiny goofy trump thumbs. Take care all.
What a flake
I saw him speak yesterday, so inspiring!
This is guy so stupid.
Duck’s poo poo is red and it smells like soap
Hee hee smells like soap
It smells like pee pee
Whim Howw would see this as a short "warming up" round…
But i think, it`s impressive, too !
You're worried about Global Warming, come to Alberta. at one point it was colder than Mars
Highlight 3:34
Please someone in United States of America show this video to their new president and it's administration … please save the world.
I'm still on edge when it comes to climate change / global warming or whatever it's called nowadays but I'm shocked this doesn't have one million views
SO inspiring, Lewis. Huge plaudits to you and the fine work you're doing. As someone who loves swimming in cold water, I can barely imagine how you survived. Bowing to you.
Beware; this man is a shill. I say 'man' but he is most likely a military clone which is why they can toss him in freezing cold water and whip up a new one to replace the frozen vegetable left in its place. Disinformation all over the place. First of all, British have never detonated a nuke. Nuclear weapons do not exist. You do not see gigantic mushroom clouds of unburnt hydrocarbons from the pure heat of atomic fission.
Second of all, there is no such thing as global warming. The 'powers' that be want to use carbon emissions as a new form of currency which would require a global regulatory agency which is simply a step toward a one world government or "New World Order" as they so fondly like to say.
Wake up people. Open your eyes. "TAEEKH OFF DUH GOGGOLZ TAEEK DEM OFF"
AMAZING
The water Ice bucket challenge would be a regular shower for Lewis….
love that guy. so inspiring
What a solid man Lewis Pugh?
Did anyone ever stop to think maybe its these ice breakers that's the problem?
what was he listening to before he jumped into the water?
the earth is changing. the whole universe is changing. there's nothing that we can do to stop this cycle. life goes through cycles.
It's like I'm having a telephone conversation.
all of us will be swimming the pole soon
I have not filed for patents, nor do I want to until the final configuration is engineered. If I file, some guy in China will just copy it.
