300 Club

The 300 Club is the name given to persons who have endured a range of temperature of 300 Fahrenheit (166 C) within a very short time. The practice originated at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica.

Participants in the 300 Club wait for a day when the temperature drops to 100 F (-73 C) for more than a few minutes, generally in the winter. The persons first warm up in a sauna heated to 200 F (93 C) for as long as 10 minutes.[1] Then they run naked in the snow to the Ceremonial Pole itself in the 100-degree weather, and run around the Pole.[2] After this, they usually warm themselves back in the sauna again, often with the aid of alcoholic drinks.[3]

There are several patches made to commemorate the occasion that are entitled to be worn by persons who have joined the 300 Club.
