Edinburgh adventurer sets two world records kayaking Arctic's Northwest Passage

An adventurer from Edinburgh has set two world records by kayaking the Arctic's Northwest Passage.

Mark Agnew began the 2,000 mile journey from Baffin Bay, Greenland, in July, and completed it three months later.

One of a team of four, the 32-year-old endured harsh weather, including 15ft (4.57m) waves, and an encounter with a polar bear.

He said he had been unable to feel his feet since July due to the freezing Arctic temperature.

Mark has raised over £7,000 for an outdoors education charity and he hopes to raise up to £25,000.

The team set two world records for being the first to kayak the Northwest Passage and the first to complete the entire route under human power.
