'Ice bath challenge' in freezing temperatures (1/4)

Challengers take a bath with ice cubes holding in arms in a pool full of ice cubes during an “icy challenge” held in Zhangjiajie, Central China's Hunan province, Jan 24. More than 30 people joined in the event on the Tianmen Mountain at 1,518 meters above sea level, with temperatures registering zero degrees Celsius. The challengers, clad in swimsuits, have to receive at least 6 buckets of ice water before qualifying to compete in the final round—bathing in cold water with ice in it. Participant who keeps holding on for the longest time would win.[Photo/ Yang Huafeng]
