Breathtaking. It’s a word reserved for truly spectacular and remarkable moments; rare moments. Though sadly, like the many extreme adjectives like “amazing” and “unbelievable”, it’s overused, and often incorrectly used. I’m guilty, I’ll admit. I’ve used the word a number of times… climbing up to the top of Adam’s Peak in Sri Lanka, or paragliding down through the Himalayas while an Egyptian vulture soars beside me. But none have warranted the use of the word more than this. In both the emotive sense and the literal sense, I can undoubtedly say that jumping feet first into a turquoise blue glacial pool was completely and utterly breathtaking.
