• ARCTIC PLUNGE!! Findlayson Islands, Nunavut, Arctic Canada

Suddenly, an Arctic Plunge of Death was announced by our Captain!

Sea temperature of 4°C / 39°F.

No problem for a Scotty used to swimming off the West Coast of Scotland with Summer temps of 11°C / 52°F. Bring it on!

And no problem for a traveler like me with two Antártica plunges already in their pants…

OK, it was going to be as friggin cold as a West Coast preacher’s ass but that would not stop us….

First, a proclamation!

And then two angles of the main event, thanks to my camera crew…

Then it was back to the zodiac and ship. The water was so clear and fresh, mixed with the after effects of the plunge it took us to the edge of tears, but we did not succumb!

And then the day ended with the beauty of a thousand sunsets…
