I've read this synopsis on other websites.

I always enjoy the unequivocal conclusion..."yet no living person could handle water that cold...

I've jumped into little crater lake and swam about.

The water is cold, but people are known to participate in "polar bear swims" in water with ice floes.

Little Crater Lake will leave you with goosebumps, but our status as warmblooded critters, with the ability to self-regulate our temperature, endows us with the remarkable ability to survive chilly water.

Jeeze louise.
