Natalia Avseenko, 36, was persuaded to strip off as marine experts believe beluga whales do not like to be touched by artificial materials such as diving suits.
1.5˚ below freezing? I went out this morning in +6˚C to look at the lunar eclipse, and I was cold in a hat and padded jacket. This loony Russian chick is jumping starkers into -1.5˚ water? Is that wise? Seems likely to take one of the whales' eyes out with her nipples.

Con or not, it is a fabulous photo.
A line worth falling for.
And I bet one of them got stung by a jellyfish and needed the poison sucked out.
Anything will pass for Art in Wales, Julia. There was this diving weekend in Aberffraw but today it is a dull memory. (sigh)

Don't want to appear a pedant -
Sea-water would likely freeze around minus 1.5 - 2.0degC, but any 'water at 1.5 deg below freezing' is known as ICE.
(Nice photo - though I wonder why the whale has a big smile?)
No wonder the whale has a smile on its face.
Gotta love the Mail comments - one from Matthew says:
"In one of the photos you can just about see the blow-hole."
Did he mean the whales or..........
I had to look twice at the last photo
"Con or not, it is a fabulous photo."
I suspect if she'd had a face like an old boot, belugas would have loved the touch of wetsuits...

:D

A bit of poetic licence, or a mistranslation?
"I had to look twice at the last photo"
