The Irkutsk Walrus’ Club, headed by Andrei Bugai, recreated the viral “Satisfaction Challenge” dance video at their ice swimming hole on Lake Baikal on Monday. A controversial parody of Benny Benassi’s "Satisfaction" by cadets from the Ulyanovsk Institute of Civil Aviation, which featured a group of male students dancing in only their underwear, took the Internet by storm when it appeared online on January 16. Not wanting to be left out or outdone, the Irkutsk ‘Walruses,’ a colloquial Russian term for people who swim in freezing water, created their own "beach" party on frozen Lake Baikal.
A she-daredevil named Zarina Andryushina braced the ice-cold waters of the frozen Caspian Sea in the coastal city of Aktau, Kazakhstan on January 30th with nothing but her bikini and her youthful vigor just as the sun was setting in the sky. Zarina has been practising ice swimming for at least two years, its become a daily routine just like jogging or exercising. The temperature on the day of filming was just over 0 degrees Fahrenheit, so snow covered the beach while flakes of ice floated in the salt water.
The internet has been awash with viral videos of boiling water being thrown into the cold Siberian air and freezing, transforming into a snowy dust. Residents of Omsk, known as one of Russia's coldest regions, got into the video posting challenge by throwing pans of boiling water into the air and watching it turn into powdery snow instantly. Temperatures in the Omsk Region plunged as low as -36.4 degrees Fahrenheit this January.
