It's summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and while most of America shivers in below-zero-or-worse wind chills, we want to bring you something that will warm your heart (and your hands – seriously, put on gloves the next time you leave the house!). Here are 10 images that will make you long for the summer days of July or August.

Imagine the pain you'd feel if you jumped into a nearby river right now. It probably wouldn't be this relaxing.
