109 degree sauna? 190 seems a bit excessive...


We had a telescope on a mountain back in the day, funded by the University of Minnesota. In other words, Northerners. Laplanders. Swedes....

The building had a sauna hidden away in the back. It was originally speced and built by actual Swedes or Laplanders or whatever that helped fund the scope.

There was a LOT of famous astronomers who did the "strip down, go in the sauna, then go out and jump in the snow" procedure. So many, than you can still go up there and see their signatures on the wall, but only the ones that follow the rules...
