While residents of Yerevan are waiting for the sun in the city, a group of young men not only have found it, but jumped into cold water in this cold winter. Members of Armenian Geographic project have carried out this event for already the fourth year. “Every year we climb Artanish mountain and then come to shore of Lake Sevan and several participants of the group swim in the lake, but it’s hard to call it swimming, we simply enter the water and get wet,” Tigran Shahbazyan, founder of the project, told “A1+”. Unfavorable weather conditions aren’t an obstacle for participants of the project also in other places. “So far there haven’t been any health problems; every year on New Year day we swim in Hunot gorge,” said Tigran Shahbazyan. The video of the young men swimming in Lake Sevan has been posted in Facebook page of the project and has already gathered thousands of views. Watch the video!
