Boy, those Russians are tough! Take this 36 year-old scientist for instance – swimming naked with Beluga whales in minus 1.5 degrees Celsius! Natalia Avseenko wants to explore the possibility of taming them before they are transported to dolphinariums around the world. Why naked? They do not like to be touched by artificial materials such as diving suits, duh!

They say five minutes would be enough to kill you in those temperatures, but Natalia is both a Russian and a yoga expert. She used meditation techniques to hold her breath and stay under water for an incredible ten minutes and 40 seconds!

Belugas are famed for the way in which their faces are able to convey human-like expressions.
