A video of Russian Navy officers diving into the cold Arctic waters right out of the submarine deck, presumably not far from the North Pole, as one of the bathing men says he is a polar man. The water must be ice cold as the pieces of ice of different size can be seen floating around nearby, however as men talk they mention a month of August, so it can be easily most warmest month of the year on the North Pole. It also might be some sort of initiation ritual for them, as only two out of five people present actually bathe, and looks like they follow some certain rules: the cameraman insists that both of the men should dive fully, with their heads immersed into water. Or it could be a certain achievement one can later tell their grandchildren about: “You know, kids, once I was bathing right on the North Pole, and I am not joking!”.
