Canadian Diver Molly Carlson First Woman to Dive from Free-Standing Iceberg
Canadian high diver Molly Carlson became the first woman to dive from a free-standing iceberg, performing a backward dive from about 15 metres into the freezing North Atlantic off Newfoundland. The feat, completed in June after four years of planning, involved extensive preparation including cold-water training, specialised wetsuit testing, and ice-climbing techniques with climber Will Gadd. The dive, featured in the documentary Red Bull Iceberg Dive, highlighted the unique risks of diving from a shifting iceberg compared to traditional cliff diving.
