North Korea published a series of propaganda photos, claiming that dictator Kim Jong Un climbed a 9,000-foot-tall snow-packed Mount Paektu while wearing only leather shoes.
According to North Korean state-run media, Kim braved the snow and frigid temperatures of -4 degrees Fahrenheit. There was also a blizzard on the peak, but Kim was able to “control the weather,” state-run media claimed, as reported by the Evening Standard.
