　　to swim in North Pole

　　British adventurer(冒险家) Lewis Gordon Pugh on 15th July became the first person to swim in the icy waters of the North Pole(北极), to raise awareness of how global warming is effecting the polar ice cap.

　　Pugh, 37, took 18 minutes and 50 seconds to swim one kilometre in the minus 1.8-degree Celsius water - the coldest water ever swum in, he claimed in a statement.

　　"I hope my swim will inspire world leaders to take climate change seriously. The decisions which they make over the next few years will determine the biodiversity(生物多样性) of our world," he said. "I want my children, and their children, to know that polar bears are still living in the Arctic." he added.
