Record Brr-eaker

Jan 28 2008

A Dutchman who calls himself a tantric master has broken his own world record by standing in ice for 72 minutes.

Wim Hof, 48, stood on a Manhattan street in a clear container filled with ice for an hour and 12 minutes.

Mr Hof, who set the world record for full body ice contact endurance in 2004 when he immersed himself in ice for an hour and eight minutes, says he survives by controlling his body temperature with the tantric practice of tumo.
