On February 14th, 2014, five Finnish cave divers set out for the ultimate challenge: to traverse Norway's ice-cold underwater Pluragrotta cave from end to end. Their goal was to reach Steinugleflaget cave... the long way. How did two of the Finnish cavers die? How did the other three barely make it out alive? And why did the divers break the law?
