Into the Maelstrom
In August 2016 I was fortunate enough to be free to accompany my close friends the Hudsons on their expedition to achieve two swimming world firsts; crossing the fastest whirlpool in the world, the Saltstraumen, and the biggest, the Moskstraumen. In the course of the latter the Wild Swimming Brothers also broke the record for the longest swim in Arctic waters.
Lofotoden and Mosken islands, with the straits that are home to the Moskstraumen clearly visible.
