Picture of the Day: ROK Soldiers Conduct Cold Weather Training

A group of shirtless soldiers affiliated with an Army unit under the Special Warfare Command sing a martial song in unison after entering a reservoir by breaking the ice on its surface in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, on Jan. 21, 2016. The day is known as “daehan,” one of the 24 seasonal divisions of the lunar calendar that marks the arrival of the coldest day of the year. The exercise in cold water, part of the unit’s tactical drill tailored for the winter’s severe cold period, is aimed to build the soldiers’ resistance to cold weather. (Yonhap)
