While most humans prefer to stay inside when temperatures take a nosedive, some people seem to enjoy the biting cold outside and Siberians are certainly no strangers to this awe-inspiring predilection.

Defying the unusually cold spell that has hit most of Russia, a group of hardy ice swimmers in Novokuznetsk poured icy water over themselves and danced in the cold in a local park as the temperatures reached lows of minus 15 degrees Celsius.
