Dutchman Wim Hof: Doesn’t Feel Cold - Iceman

Dutchman Wim Hof, also known as the Iceman, is the man that swam under ice, and stood in bins filled with ice. He climbed the Mt. Blanc in shorts in the icy cold, harvested world records and always stands for new challenges. Scientists can’t really explain it, but the 48-year-old Dutchman is able to withstand, and even thrive, in temperatures that could be fatal to the average person.

Dutchman Wim Hof set a Guinness World Record by swam 57.5 m. (188.6 ft.) under three feet of an ice lake near the Finnish village of Kolari, deep inside the Arctic Circle on March 16, 2000. Using no special equipment, he wore only swim shorts and a pair of goggles! It's enough to make you shiver just watching it!
