So when he set his latest world record this week-- swimming an excruciating 181 meters under solid ice in the frigid waters of a quarry near Moscow— it was one of the easier things he’s done, while still being a superhuman challenge. Molchanov said he felt he could have gone further but didn’t want to risk it because despite hundreds of dives in warm waters, doing it ice is something quite different.
