Tim Yap jumps in zero degree waters in Antarctica


Tim Yap just took a daring leap into Antarctica's zero-degree waters.

Celebrity host Tim Yap is living life to the fullest!

In an Instagram post, the Sparkle artist shared a video of his recent adventure in Antarctica, where he jumped into zero-degree waters and did a polar plunge.

“POV: You went to Antarctica just to do this...” he wrote in the video.

In the clip, Tim explained that one of the trip's goals was to take a polar plunge. He admitted he was nervous about taking on the challenge.

“Super duper scared right now. I'm getting jitters. I don't know if I should do it. Nakakakot. I'm so scared,” he said.

He added, “I was thinking, maybe wag na lang kaya, but then again, no day but today. We should conquer today whatever you set forth to do. Just do it, and so bahala na!”

With the support of the PH crew, Tim bravely jumped into the icy waters at the end of the video.

“Good day from Antarctica. Zero-degree water,” he wrote in the caption.

“One rule: don't overthink it. Just jump,” he added.
