The video has received over 1 million views on Twitter, with more than 9,000 likes. Many people are leaving interesting and creative remarks in the comments section.

“Cool! Anyone know how cold the water would have been? The coldest I measured the ice on the water at was 1-2 degrees Celsius in the river we used to swim in. For those who want to try: Yes, if you train for it, at least 8-10 minutes in the water is doable. Yes, it feels fantastic,” wrote one user.

“Why would anyone do this to themselves without a very large payoff for completing it? That can’t be fun at all. Can it?,” commented another user.

“This is a common practice in Nordic countries such as Finland and Norway, and I’d guess many parts of Russia based on the location on the mobile phone she displayed. While it may seem like a stunt for views, and in her case it likely is, it’s fairly routine,” wrote a third user.
