Скачать или смотреть Dutch brave cold sea in annual NY Day plunge

(1 Jan 2019) Thousands of Dutch revellers braved cold water and chilling winds on Tuesday to take a New Year's Day plunge in the North Sea.
In the seaside district of Scheveningen, people jumped into the sea as part of a tradition thought to date back to the 1960s.
Nowadays the event is now held as a charity fundraiser with each swimmer required to buy a ticket.
According to the event organisers, 10,000 people took part in the Scheveningen plunge alone.
They resisted a water temperature of 7 degrees Celcius and outside air temperature of 9 degrees Celcius.
Due to strong wind it felt like 5 degrees Celcius, the organisers say.
More than 60 thousand people were expected to take part in similar events on 24 locations across the Netherlands.
