About
Known for his 2011 book Becoming the Iceman (co-written with Justin Rosales), this Dutch daredevil rose to fame for his unique ability to survive sub-zero conditions through what both he and a 2011 scientific study claimed to be mental regulation of his body's internal temperature.

Trivia

An entrepreneur as well as an adventurer, he founded an organization called Innerfire for the purpose of teaching others his mind-over-body physical regulation techniques.
