In Northern Europe, winters get pretty chilly and northern Finland is definitely up there with the coldest places on the continent.
Every year, people here compete in a crazy race.
Swimming in icy water is a tradition many practice.
For Finns, a freezing cold dip is part of every day life.
My hunt for quirky customs has led me to Joensuu, in northern Finland.
And today I'm taking part in the Ice Swimming Championships.
And the Finns, trust me, they are absolutly bonkers.
I've arrived a day before the big race to dip my toe in and believe me, it is seriously cold outside.
So guys, it's minus 12 degrees outside and this is what I'm going to be wearing.
So this is what I'm going to wear outside until I'll get into the water.
