Orlando Duque<\/strong> is a force of nature in the diving world and he has used his position of influence to help highlight the rising danger of global climate change.<\/p>\n

The Colombian veteran who won the inaugural Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in 2009, journeyed for 31 days to launch himself off a giant iceberg in Antarctica.<\/p>\n

Here is all you need to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– It began on January 5, 2018 when Duque, 43, left his home in Cali, Colombia for the beautiful landscape of Antarctica.<\/p>\n

– He travelled 10,000km by air, sea and land to board a ship in Punta Arenas, which took him a further four days to reach the most mysterious and icy part of the planet.<\/p>\n

– The trip was a scientific expedition of the Colombian Navy with more than 100 people on board the ship, the majority of whom were Colombian scientists.<\/p>\n

– Duque, who holds 13 cliff diving world titles, searched for a large mass of floating ice which had the right characteristics to jump into the icy Antarctic waters.<\/p>\n

– More than 15 people, including divers, doctors, nurses, cameramen, photographers, and wife Catalina<\/strong>, made their way to the giant iceberg aboard two boats.<\/p>\n

– Armed with just a crampon, two ice axes and a 7mm thick neoprene suit, Duque ventured into the below 1\u00b0C waters and dived three times off a 20-metre iceberg.<\/p>\n

– The 43-year-old, who treasures the memories of the humpback whales swimming freely and penguins\u2019 steps in the snow, revealed: “The landscape was majestic. When I had climbed to the top, I had to hack off a chunk of the ice to make a stable space at the point where I was going to jump. My biggest fear at that moment was that a piece of ice would detach itself and that my dreams would end there.\u201d<\/p>\n

– The poles hold 75% of the water on the planet – the majority of which is in a solid state – which is exactly why it is important to look after these parts of the earth.<\/p>\n

– Duque, who plans to dive in the Arctic next, added: “People need to be more aware. We have to reduce our oil and plastic consumption to conserve places like Antarctica.\u201d<\/p>\n
