Molly Carlson Becomes First Woman to Dive from Free-Floating Iceberg
Canadian high diver Molly Carlson became the first woman to dive from a free-floating iceberg off Newfoundland's coast. She climbed the unstable iceberg with climber Will Gadd's guidance before performing a backward dive from about 15 meters into the freezing North Atlantic, wearing a wetsuit. The feat, documented by Red Bull, followed extensive cold-water training and ice-climbing preparation. Carlson, an internationally recognized athlete and mental health advocate, described the dive as her scariest challenge yet.
