The Amazon Swim World Record Attempt

Martin Strel, a legendary Guinness record marathon swimmer, has always been looking for the challenges of impossible, and the Amazon is going to be the next one. On Feb 1st 2007, Strel started swimming all the way from Atalaya (Peru) to the Atlantic Ocean at Belem (Brazil). He is planning to complete the 3,375 mile (5,430 km) ultimate challenge in 70 days.
You can keep track of his progress on the map below, which will be updated daily with his exact location.

I couldn't post the map but check it out with the story HERE.
