Takhini Hot Springs’ Frozen Hair Contest

Canada’s historical hot springs site, Takhini Hot Springs, has been hosting tourists and even the US Army, from as far back as the 1940s. Its two indoor pools are a favorite for usual temperature-defying events, such as February’s Hair Freezing Contest. When the temperature plummets to -30 degrees Celsius, participants’ hair can freeze in a mere 60 seconds. (Above: 1 of 2 winning group photos)
