22.01.2012 - Ice Hole Swimming!

There were other events like this in december and the begining of january, but unfortunately I missed all of them. Finally this sunday I had the chance to prove this amazing finnish custom.

The idea is simple: going into the (frozen) river, and swim for a few seconds. I swam into the river 3 times. And my record inside the water was about 30 seconds xDD. The 3rd time I went into the river, I removed my skullcap and I dived for a while (yeah, 5 seconds or something xDD). I have to say that is an unforgetable experience xD.

Those pictures were taken by the ESN members. Thanks to all of them for this event.

 And now, few photos about that landscape. These ones were taken by me xD.
