Lewis Gordon Pugh, 37, an English lawyer, swam 1 km in 18 minutes 50 seconds at a temperature of -1.8 ⁰ C, the coldest level that humans can swim.

Since the moment he jumped into the cold water, he said: 'The water is black. It feels like jumping into a black hole. Awful. Immediately after that I was in pain and felt my body burn. I am in pain, from head to toe.

Pugh said he ' hopes my swim will make world leaders more concerned with serious climate change'. He also said he wanted his children and future generations to know that polar bears still live in the North Pole.
