I have so much respect for this woman. How many of us really could endure the pain & the cold the way she has?

[@alaric_]

I have quite high pain tolerance but literally no tolerance for cold and would absolutely, totally panic the moment i would have to go under that ice. Respects to her and her abilities.

[@ehsangallery]

It is so beautiful that I can't stop watching it over and over and over and over... What a great work!!!

[@skerdibegu4667]

Ok

[@ilikeslime7691]

Her voice is so soothing 😌 I feel calm throughout the video

[@quinnmurdy]

Unbelievable, stunning cinematography. Great job!

[@officiallyjz597]

Beautiful cinematography and story ❤️

[@pineda1960]

This is the reason why I love the sea the cold the freedive and the silence of the ocean...

[@salimaaqid5011]

I have so much respect for this woman more than anyone in this world and i feel very bad about her because she fractured her leg and her parents said that she'll lose it but she didn't and she continue till she realize her and she makes it come true .

[@lalalallalalalla6341]

That is awesome, and I appreciate the cameraman as well.

[@danielsong8440]

Every word a new lesson. Insights of respect.

[@marca3523]

Wow it’s so meditative! The need to accept the pain/cold in order to overcome it It makes you forget everything around you

[@gaetanproductions]

Really something - simple and pure - a piece of art

[@PedroSantosinsolitum]

this is just... amazing. breathtaking

[@donnamillard4331]

Awesome, i'm a scuba diver and night dives are my absolute favourite. I've longed to do ice dives and the free diving is the ultimate in freedom. Lovely short film that captures it perfectly.👌

[@alikessualikessu7519]

OMG, now she did a new all-time record for free diving under ice in a swimming costume and without fins to a length of 103m!

[@jackbauer2770]

Not to be crude. But this lady has bigger stones that 99% of people I've ever met. So beautiful. I only wish I had it in me to do things like this. We are all going to die one day.

[@catvalentine4317]

Everybody does. The only thing you need to do is to start

[@salimaaqid5011]

You can do it too but you'll die and if you don't wanna die while diving deep you should first live on a cold place witch has a lot of cold ice water in winter and you should be able to dive realy realy deep under a warm water first than you can do it .

[@daniesza]

She is so beautifully alone

[@joshray2117]

ethereal piece of storytelling

[@mourgoukos]

stunning photography

[@GrowthGuided]

The shots you captured were just so beautiful

[@V_Atti]

Johanna Nordblad swam horizontally 103 metres under ice on March 18 (2021) to claim a new world record wearing only a short swimsuit, spending two minutes and 42 seconds in water temperatures of two degrees Celsius.

[@MsBalletdancer7]

Important lessons to learn for surfers who surf in very cold water locations...

[@mellodeeKenyan]

Inspiring and beautiful.

[@gerarddip]

Wish I could see the uncut footage of her surface dive

[@bernicejiang]

[@Brickwallhood1]

I wonder if she learned this from wim hof or if she discovered the love for the cold all on her own. Either way it's beautiful living her way

[@Schwenni]

This is awesome.

[@michealtaylor4078]

No mention of Russian Natalie Avseenko who did this in 2010 sans wetsuits goggles and flippers spent many more minutes exposed.
