Those Crazy Fins

His experience is more of Turkish baths with similarly hirsute overweight men.

But he doesn't like to talk about it.

I think you'll find that AtW secured a large amount of money from a Dutch pornographer he came across in a Turkish Sauna. I understand his name is Spartacus.

Are they sure it was 110C? Hotter than boiling water?! Or did some mong of a reporter get their units wrong?

Even 110F at 100% humidity is soon unbearable, and much hotter would be rapidly fatal. For example, people can't survive in that crystal cave in Mexico (at around 136F) for more than a few minutes without being dressed from head to toe in cooling suits.

Looks like 110c burns.

Sauna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under many circumstances, temperatures approaching and exceeding 100 °C (212 °F) would be completely intolerable. Saunas overcome this problem by controlling the humidity. The hottest Finnish saunas have relatively low humidity levels in which steam is generated by pouring water on the hot stones. This allows air temperatures that could boil water to be tolerated and even enjoyed for longer periods of time. Steam baths, such as the hammam, where the humidity approaches 100%, will be set to a much lower temperature of around 40 °C (104 °F) to compensate. The "wet heat" would cause scalding if the temperature were set much higher.

Apparently the winner (or surviver), Timo Kaukonen, normally practises in sauna that has 130C - 140C, so 110C must have felt quite chilly for him.
