CONCORD, Mass. -- Dozens of brave New Englanders took the polar bear plunge on Saturday to raise awareness on global climate change.
Activists dove into the icy Walden Pond shouting demands for action to stop the advance of global warming.
Some of the participants were even dressed as polar bears.
The thermometer on site read 38 degrees and the water was 45 degrees.
The polar bear plunge was just one of hundreds of similar events held around the world as part of "Global Day of Climate Action."
