International explorer, author, and extreme athlete Justin Fornal shares the challenges he and his team faced attempting the first nonstop swim from Canada to Greenland across the Nares Strait in August 2022. The deadly ice maze “with icebergs as large are buildings” caused Fornal to shift course. This test of endurance resulted in his achievement of the first ever long distance swim of the Nares Strait. Fornal and the team plan to return in 2023 to complete the full swim.

Justin Fornal is the expedition swimmer for the Great Arctic Swim and is dedicated to telling the story of the arctic and its inhabitants. He is also the host of “Unexplained and Unexplored” on the Science Channel. Learn more about our speaker at www.justinfornal.com
