Three Scottish brothers have set a new world record for the fastest human-powered crossing of the Pacific Ocean, completing a 9,000-mile journey in 139 days. They arrived in Cairns, Australia, on August 30, breaking the previous record. The Maclean brothers from Edinburgh faced numerous challenges including exhaustion and potential food shortages during their expedition aimed at raising £1 million for clean water projects in Madagascar.
