Strongman Champions League: Iceman 2010 . . . An Arctic Strongman Challenge

The battle for the title Iceman is set for Kuusamo Lapland in Finland, and as the promoters say, “There is no weather clause or frost limit,” so only the strongest and hardiest will survive this arctic strongman challenge.
