Molly Carlson welcomed fear during her historic dive off Newfoundland iceberg
The 30-minute documentary shows her six months of training and the carefully scouted iceberg that made the 1 C dive possible.
In June, Canadian high diver Molly Carlson became the first woman to dive off an estimated 14-metre iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland, culminating six months of intensive training.
The project required four years of planning to locate a stable 'unicorn' iceberg suitable for scaling, with Canadian Red Bull athlete Will Gadd guiding Carlson to the summit.
Windy conditions at the summit forced Carlson to adjust mid-air to land safely, where she felt 'bliss' and called the dive 'the dive of my dreams.'
Open about her anxiety, Carlson advocates embracing fear rather than pushing it away, saying, 'I realized fear keeps you safe' and helps maintain calm.
With over 8 million social media followers, Carlson shares her journey through Brave Gang, her online community, and documents the feat in the film 'Red Bull Iceberg Dive.
