She is also the first woman to swim the famous Eyjasund (from the Westmann Islands to the south coast of Iceland). In addition Sigrún has also swam the English Channel in a relay team three times.

Sigrún had no background in sports and learned how to swim only three years earlier. The documentary is 70 minutes long and contains a lot of footage from Sigrún's swim. In 2020 the president of Iceland honored Sigrún Þuríður Geirsdóttir the Order of the Falcon, the highest honour that the Icelandic state can bestow on individuals.
