Freediver Ant Williams risks it all beneath the frozen surface of an Icelandic lake, pushing his limits in a record-breaking attempt. With only one breath and no margin for error, this is a story of endurance, danger, and the relentless pursuit of human potential. As Ant Williams vanishes beneath the frozen surface of Iceland’s Lake Stiflisdalsvatn, the world above holds its breath. The ice creaks, the water swallows him whole, and I feel the tension grip my chest.

A well-thumbed copy of Robert Graves’ The Greek Myths has long been my trusted companion on journeys in the Mediterranean. Its frayed edges and    dog-eared pages, marked by countless    readings, carry the stories of gods and    mortals who have shaped the landscape.    The story of Eos, the Greek goddess of dawn (and sister to the sun god Helios), feels particularly relevant as I flick through it once more, lounging by the pool on the Sun Princess, the newest ship in Princess Cruises’ fleet.
