The 5 best polar bear plunge destinations to ring in the new year

The 5 best polar bear plunge destinations to ring in the new year

MSN — Taking a quick dip in some cold water is nothing new; some people do it to feel invigorated, others for health reasons or to ring in the new year.

However, if you're going to take the plunge, especially if you've never done it before, you want to make sure you're someplace safe, with experienced people around you. That's why it's important to pick the right location, and not just any old place, to take a polar bear plunge.
