South African freediver Amber Fillary has set a new Guinness World Record, plunging into ice-capped waters wearing nothing but a bikini. She reached her goal on Saturday with no flippers to assist her. Fillary, originally from Cape Town, held the previous world record of 70 meters.
Fillary dove through a man-made triangular hole in the 40 centimetre thick ice and into the less than balmy 1°C water in Mysutjern, south of Kongsberg in Norway. Two minutes and 25 seconds later, she emerged 90 meters away, and the new world apnea record was hers.

According to Dykking, Fillary is planning on diving in Norway again in 2023. Will she smash the 100 meter mark? We’re backing this Capetonian all the way!
