BERLIN, GERMANY - JANUARY 12: An ice swimming enthusiast wades in the cold waters of Orankesee lake as another waves a toy evil rat in the air during the 'Winter Swimming in Berlin' event on January 12, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. A local swimmers' group called the 'Berlin Seals' invite ice swimmers from across Germany and abroad to the annual event, which, despite warmer temperatures this winter and a lack of ice, was still held.
