Soldiers in South Korea get half-naked in sub-zero endurance test




230 half-naked South Korean soldiers brave freezing conditions in a numbing and bizarre army endurance excercise in the country's Pyeongchang province.

The military drill is part of South Korea's army winter training session in which troops shower each other in snow, plunge into deep icy water and patrol through snow on skis.

Despite the bitterly cold temperatures of minus 20 degrees most soldiers appeared to enjoy the experience, laughing, smiling and screaming as they undertook the gruelling training session.

Every year, the South Korean army selects a cold and snowy mountainside for the winter drill designed to test soldiers' endurance in potential real-life combat situations.

The South Korean army has pledged to be well prepared for any possible "provocations" from North Korea.
