Recently, the Nordic region has been experiencing one of their coldest winters in decades, with temperatures dropping as low as -40 degrees Celsius in some areas. Despite the harsh conditions, many people have embraced the freeze in true Nordic fashion, from skiing to work, open water swims, and frozen jogs. Sending out safe wishes to all our Nordic friends!
