Self-portrait in my mother-in-law´s sauna. The temperature is 100 degrees Celsius, which may show in my face. Cool

The secret of the sauna is controlled humidity. The hottest Finnish saunas have relatively low humidity levels in which steam is generated by pouring water on the hot stones. This allows air temperatures that could boil water to be tolerated and even enjoyed for longer periods of time. Usually, bathers go to swim or have a shower in every ten- fifteen minutes in a sauna.

It can be dangerous, however. The 2010 World Sauna Championships were held in Heinola, Finland, yesterday. The rules are simple, who can sit in the hot sauna the longest. The temperature is 110 ºC (230 °F). Half a liter of water is poured on the stove every 30 seconds. This year, they had to stop the finals after six minutes, because two of the contestants couldn´t stand it any more. A 60- years old Russian male contestant died and another was hospitalized. It´s highly propable, that the Championships will not be arranged any more.
