Canadian Athlete Becomes First Woman to Jump from Iceberg into Ocean VIDEO
28-year-old Canadian high diver Molly Carlson became the first woman in history to jump from an iceberg into the Atlantic Ocean. She performed the record-breaking jump off the coast of the Canadian island of Newfoundland, writes CBC News.
With the help of professional alpinist Will Gadd, Carlson ascended an iceberg approximately 15 meters high, after which she dove backward into the icy waters of the ocean.
Until the last moment, the team did not know if weather conditions would allow them to carry out the plan. The athlete also had to rely on her own intuition, as the height of an iceberg is difficult to measure precisely: it constantly changes. According to Carlson's sensations, she spent what felt like ten minutes in the air. The jump concluded without incident; the athlete called it her dream jump.
Carlson also admitted that she would have been satisfied with any outcome. On her Instagram page, she wrote that this project holds much greater significance than just an important event in history.
“Like icebergs, each of us has a story that is much deeper than what is visible on the surface. This project is dedicated to everyone who has ever been afraid to show their true self,” the athlete explained.
She also called the published photo her absolute favorite in the world.
Preparation for the jump took Carlson four years. She trained in cold water and underwent special ice climbing training in the Canadian province of Alberta. This was necessary to ascend the icy wall to the top of the iceberg before the jump.
