Czech globetrotter and adventurer Marek Simicek (left) managed to spend the record eight hours in a cryo chamber, dressed in sleeping bags, in minus 100 degrees Celsius today, on Monday, January 12, 2015. Simicek entered the special chamber in which one can create enormous frosts at 14:00 and left it in a good health condition at 22:00. Simicek, 39, decided to test his physical and mental condition, hardened by several walking expeditions to the Baikal area.After the hours spent in the bitter cold, Simicek complained that he felt too warm in it. Before today's try, he increased the number of the insulating layers that protected his body from the frost. Apart from two special sleeping bags, he put on a t-shirt, a pullover, a warm anorak, and a fur cap on his head. Before the experiment, Simicek was thoroughly examined by a doctor and experts fixed sensors on his body to monitor his life functions such as the pulse, temperature and breath.
