Famed adventurer Justin Fornal likes to splash around in the water just as much as the next guy. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

That’s why he’ll be swimming from Canada to Greenland this week. The athlete, explorer, writer and cultural detective — best known as the host of Unexplained and Unexplored on the Science Channel — joins General Aviation pilot Wesley Archer in an historic expedition that will test their endurance and will power: the Great Arctic Swim Expedition. Fornal intends to be the first person ever to swim the Nares Strait, a 40-kilometre stretch between Canada and Greenland. The project is a four-year labour of love put together to help illustrate the vicissitudes of climate change and the cultural loss that goes with it.


The men will be accompanied and guided by Inuit hunters. The Arctic adventure will be captured by esteemed filmmaker Emiliano Ruprah for a future documentary, so everyone can eventually witness the epic undertaking.
