British adventurer and founder of 'The Adventurists' Tom Morgan has seen the South African landscape like never before, after he recently flew 15.5 miles across it strapped to 100 helium balloons.

Yes, you read that right.

The challenge had originally been intended for Botswana. But after a few attempts there, Morgan moved it to South Africa. Luckily, following the failed attempts he didn't have to wear the cone of shame.

It took two days to inflate all the balloons, and Morgan told the BBC that he had to pick the right moment.

"The problem was finding a good weather window and it was difficult to protect the balloons as they kept bursting," said Morgan.

Morgan said that his ballon-flight was "unbelievably cool" and that it made him feel "somewhere between terrified and elated".

According to the BBC, Morgan achieved heights of 8,000 ft and gradually cut off balloons in order to descend.

The only way this story could be any more magical would be if at the end of his flight Morgan had discovered a pack of talking dogs.
