Kim Jong-un apparently walked through 'thick snow' to scale Mount Paektu, on North Korea's border with China
However, images show the overweight dictator strolling around summit with not a single bead of perspiration and wearing spotlessly clean shoes
The North Korean leader has another accomplishment under his belt. State media has reported that the tyrant climbed an 8,300ft spiritual mountain walking through thick snow to reach the summit.
It is hard to understand why the state feels the leader has to be painted in such super- human colours. There had been several other myths spunned about Kim. One of them was that he learnt how to drive at the age of three.
The mountain is believed to be the site of the deadliest volcano eruption in history
A North Korean journalist reported how Kim's 'eyes reflected the strong beams of the gifted great person seeing in the majestic spirit of Mount Paektu the appearance of a powerful socialist nation which dynamically advances full of vigour without vacillation at any raving dirty wind on the planet.'

Mount Paektu has been decreed as the 'sacred' birthplace of the secretive state's first dictator, Kim's grandfather.
Pictures released by the regime show Kim in the snow on North Korea's border with China, which the regime rewrote history to claim was birthplace of Kim Il-Sung, the Communist who ruled from after the Second World War until 1994.
He was in fact born in the Soviet Union, but the mountain, has long been integral to the country's identity.
