I was just going to walk around in rain, but the sign for ice swimming caught my attention.
Allas, the Helsinki city centre swimming facility had a midsummer special that I caught just in time before they poured the ice away.
Why not? Rain, dark skies, ice cold pool. Tiny pool. Have a great midsummer, folks!

"Mongolia is kind of close, right? Story about an attempt to ski everywhere in the world where there's snow. And in some places where there isn't. On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world.
