A daunting 'blowhole' on the Aran Islands known as the Serpent's Lair was the
venue for the latest round in the Red
Bull Cliff Diving World Series. Despite being almost perfectly
rectangular, the blowhole is a natural wonder, into which the divers plunge
at over 60mph. Claiming victory in the first World Series event held in Ireland was Russian
diver Artem Silchenko, with Columbian rival Orlando Duque in second place. Speaking after the event, Mr Silchenko appeared undaunted by the scale of the
challenge he had faced. "Like every time. I think, I dive, I work - I am happy".
