   1) Chilling Out

   The freezing cold has no effect on Wim Hof. Also known as the “Iceman”, Wim Hof climbed Mount Everest wearing only a pair of shorts in temperatures that can kill an ordinary person. He holds an incredible nine world records and often appears in various countries up to his neck in ice. Scientists can’t explain Hof’s superhuman ability to put up with below-zero temperatures, but believe it may be due to his skill at meditation. When most people face extreme cold, the blood in their bodies moves away from their fingers and toes to protect their inner organs. After years of meditating, Wim has complete control over his blood flow and can keep it moving to all parts of his body, no matter how cold it gets.

He says he can do this because he tries to know each animal’s personality and develop understanding with them. Now Richardson, known as ‘The lion whisperer’, cares for 39 lions on his 1,800-acre wildlife reserve. Kevin uses his fame to raise awareness about lions under threat in the wild. «Numbers have dropped by up to 75% in the past decade,» he says. Kevin also made a film using members of his adopted family called White Lion: Home is a Journey.
