A new world record was set by four German tightrope walkers who crossed a 2.1km long valley in Swedish Lapand over a tightrope line that that was suspended at a height of 600m.
Quirin Herterich, Lukas Irmler, Ruben Langer and Friedi Kuehn were the four people who participated. &ldquoI just focused on being very slow, being extremely clean and just reaching the end," said Herterich, who was first to cross the line.
"This is hard because it's really exposed, it's 600 metres high, it's 2,150 metres and it's really windy here sometimes," said David Sjostrom, the project manager.
According to Reuters, it took two days to rig the line across the two Arctic Circle peaks which, at this time of year, bask in 24 hour sunlight.
