Swimming the Amazon

Here's an interesting little fact. As I was looking for an article on BBC's website, I found a blog of a man that is swimming the entire length of the Amazon. Yes, swimming. His name is Martin Strel and he's a Slovenian marathon swimmer. The Amazon is 3,375 miles long and he's already more than halfway there. He's been updating the blog on a regular basis. People can send him questions on the page too. He's been answering a lot of questions explaining how he avoids getting injured or even killed by the variety of creatures that live in the river. It's worth checking out.
