edit: the article originated from Sweden, the captain was Icelandic, not Swedish - me bad

He pulled a 300 KILOGRAM, struggling shark onto the beach? I'd have to see a video to believe it, and even then I'd still be suspicious.

His pal Reynir Traustason added: “He isn’t scared of anything.”

He's obviously never met my mother in law!

(just kidding, she's really nice)

So he's Icelandic? Swedes are tougher

thor heyerdahl did that some decades ago when he sailed on kon tiki, there is even a video (academy award for best documentary). sharks seem to get passive once you manage to lift their tails out of the water.

Grabbing the tail, holding on, and then lifting without getting bit is the tough part...

When a country of 250,000 always has an entrant in the World's Strongest Man contest, and usually place well in javelin, hammer, and discus in the Olympics, you know they must be some seriously good genes for upper body strength there.

As for fear.. it doesn't apply when you are thinking about more important things.. such as survival.. and living on a volcanic island in the North Atlantic will make you quite accustomed to thinking about survival.

I'd like to see him pick up and move a volcano though.

When adrenaline increases, a (tough) man can possibly pull 300kg I would imagine... not necessarily fast though.

Beach of Kuummiit?
Like when you say "vomit" when you are vomitting
