Spectators huddled around Lake Champlain on Saturday, Feb. 10, to witness fundraisers and thrill-seekers dive in to the frigid waters for the twelfth annual Penguin Plunge. The proceedings from the event go towards benefiting the Vermont Special Olympics. Fifty-five teams of 15 to 20 people participated in the plunge, each with a minimum donation of $175. (Multimedia)
