Warning! This article contains some gruesome images of human extremities that have been submerged in the water far longer than your average bath experience.
The super-wrinkly hands and feet in question belong to serial extreme endurance swimmer, the UK’s Ross Edgley, following his 62 hour, 510km (317 mile) swim along Canada’s Yukon river last weekend, to set a new non-stop river swimming record. That’s over two-and-a-half days without stopping, sleeping or touching land. That’s wild swimming taken to insane extremes.
