I wasn't sure this qualifies as a good news story, although perhaps it should - there are a lot of health benefits to cold exposure (like increased "brown fat" - metabolically active brown adipose tissue) as well as the mental boost from resiliency training.

Also, they'll burn plenty of calories staying warm which is good news in a world where obesity is the world #1 form of malnutrition.
