The 2014 Winter Swimming World Championships will be in the Lapland city of Rovaniemi, close to the Arctic circle, official hometown of Santa Claus 20-23 March 2014. Notice that in their preliminary program, the first day is reserved to Accreditation and … Acclimatization, I fear that that’s about where the warmness stops ;-)
Also please notice, the Finnish Santa might not be the warm and cuddly kind that you expect, as demonstrated in the brilliant Finnish movie Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
