How Cool! These are some of the frosty entries for a hair-freezing contest.
The annual competition is held at the Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs in Yukon, Canada.
Brave souls step into the naturally warmed water, and can make hair-raising shapes when their wet locks freeze.
The springs say entries are collected daily when the weather is cold enough; that is, -4°F or colder.
This year's contest ends at the end of March, but a gallery of contestants so far shows some impressive creations.
Categories range from best female and male, to best group, best facial hair and people's choice award.
A spokesperson for the hot springs said: "The crucial point in the contest is the right weather conditions.
"Frosty temperatures below -4 °F (-20 °C) are essential. So, some days may not be chilly enough to accomplish the trick.
"Thanks to the temperature of the hot springs of 104 °F (40 °C), the partakers are safe and warm."
