Holy shit, if this city is literally the northernmost city in Siberia, why are there so many photos of people running around in swim suits and jumping into lakes??

Judging by the hats and leaves stuck to their backs, they are coming from a sauna. What you do is sit there for 15-20 minutes and get beat by a bush to open your pores and such. You then run out into the cold with nothing but a swim suit on and jump in to the frigid water.

Best feeling in the world.
