YouTube Video Description

The Polar Plunge is a fun activity in the Arctic, Antarctica and Alaska, among other places with icy-cold waters. Would you jump in for this fun activity that is a rite of passage for adventurous sailors? I've loved having a blast with my fellow adventure cruisers when we had the chance for the polar plunge. Check out my guide to polar plunging and let me know whether you have done this or are looking forward to it. #PolarPlunge #AntarcticaCruise
