Après avoir nagé au Pôle nord, Lewis Pugh s'était juré de ne plus entrer dans des eaux froides. Et puis, il a entendu parler du Lac Imja au Mont Everest -- une étendue d'eau à 5300 mètres d'altitude, entièrement créée par la récente fonte des glaciers -- et a entrepris un périple qui allait lui apprendre une approche radicalement nouvelle à la fois de la natation et de la réflexion sur le changement climatique.

Pushing his body through epic cold-water swims, Lewis Gordon Pugh wants to draw attention to our global climate. He's just back from swimming in a meltwater lake on the slopes of Mount Everest. Full bio »
