Have you ever been in Siberia? I been there once in summer and believe me you would not want to be there in winter time. -50°C is nothing special and for you from the tropical climate, you would surely freeze to death there.

Hmm....now that you mentioned it, I think I let you guys enjoy the mystique beauty of the ice. I don't like death. And freezing to it is not what I have in mind.
