Happy as Hof: A swimterview with Iceman Wim Hof

With his new TV show Freeze The Fear launching on BBC One next week, we take a look back at Ella's swimterview with the one and only Iceman Wim Hof.

Almost everything that Wim Hof says I want to write on a Post-it note for future reference. Known worldwide as The Iceman, Wim is a Dutch extreme athlete famed for breaking a number of records related to cold exposure. He has accomplished extraordinary feats of human endurance including swimming underneath ice for 66 metres, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, running a barefoot half marathon above the Arctic Circle, and standing in a container while covered with ice cubes for more than 112 minutes. He has developed The Wim Hof Method which has featured in media across the world and promises to give you more energy, less stress and a stronger immune system.
