Finnish Saunas:
What could possibly make hundreds, maybe thousands, of Wisconsin residents jump naked into freezing lakes? It’s called a Finnish sauna, and commentator Arnold Alanen says it’s part of our state’s heritage.
Commentator Arnold Alanen is an emeritus professor of landscape architecture at the University of Wisconsin. He recently wrote the introduction to a new book called “The Opposite of Cold: The Northwoods Finnish Sauna Tradition.”
