Hi, recently we have read an article titled ice man. It is
an amazing life when people can stay in the coolest air or water in a long
hours without clothes. This news has caught our attention and we want to share
it with you guys.
This guy named Wim Hof. He was born in 1959 and he was from
the Netherlands. He also holds the world record. His superiority is swimming in
the large distances under polar ice, running a marathon barefoot to climbing
the Everest in nothing more than a pair of shorts.
In 2007, he climb Mount Everest with wearing only shorts but
at 6.7 km he failed to reach the summit due to injury in his leg. In 2008, he
broke his previous world's record by staying immersed in ice for 1 hour, 13
minutes and 48 seconds at Guinness World Records. In 2009, he participated in
the marathon in Finland with wearing shorts and reach the finish line with a
time of 5 hours 25 minutes.
Furthermore, in 2010 Wim Hof broke a record in Tokyo,
Japan by standing on ice for 1 hour 52 minutes and 42 seconds. Finally, in 2011
he also ran a full marathon in the Namib Desert without water. The run was
performed under the supervision of Dr. Thijs Eijsvogels.
As the conclusion, what was done by Wim Hof really
impressed us. Most people can take action, such as Wim Hof but for us there
are limits. For us, we can only hold an ice cube in a while because we cannot
withstand the cold of the ice cube. So amazing because he has the ability to
withstand cold very high.
