Series 1: 4. Seal



Andy Torbet travels to Alaska in his quest to swim like a seal in freezing lake water, under a sheet of ice. His journey begins off the Northumberland coast, diving with grey seals to learn how insulating, fatty blubber gives them unrivalled cold-resistance. Next, Andy meets Olympic medallist Keri-anne Payne and discovers how cold-water shock affects his body. Then Andy tests out blubber-like insulating technology while being dunked in the Extreme Environments Lab pool at Portsmouth University. Will this chilly challenge see him sink or swim?
