See in the video: Extreme bathing in ice – women inspire millions with Finnish tradition.
Mäkinen prefers to climb into the water of frozen lakes.
To do this, she saws holes in the ice layer with a special saw and, when the temperature is below zero, she can slide into the water in a swimsuit.
This video of her posing with an ice floe has been viewed 39 million times.
And this icy bath 60 million times.
According to Mäkinen, it’s all about the adrenaline rush. The viewers are probably happy that they can watch the ice-cold pleasure from the warm living room.
