"The expedition's biggest success is getting them to the start line. Two years of work in order to go on actual expedition for one month" – Fiann commented on his Instagram profile (@theimpossiblerowcaptain)

Upon completion of this voyage in less than one day, Fiann will become the first person to row across 5 oceans and the first to complete the Ocean Explorer's Grand Slam, adjudicated by the Ocean Rowing Society International and the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators. For comparison, only around 50 people have completed the Land Explorer's Grand Slam. As an athlete representing Iceland, he is also known for being the fastest rower who has rowed the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Arctic Oceans. Fiann is the Guinness World Records' most decorated athlete within one sport, ranking above Michael Phelps and Roger Federer, and the world's most record-breaking explorer. 

Fiann is also active in art and psychology. He is a world-renowned photographer and combines his personal experience as an athlete and explorer with his postgraduate studies in Depth Psychology to produce some of the best expedition photography. Fiann shared his studies and research on the psychological background of adventurers and ultra-endurance athletes during his TEDxBend talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z6M3ToTT54&feature=emb_title.
