    SURVIVING EXTREME COLD


    How to stay alive in the Arctic
    1 Very few people have travelled to the hands or feet are getting cold, warm
    Arctic Circle. Experienced Arctic them immediately. Finally, they
    explorers say the extreme cold is say you should not let your clothing get
    dangerous. But if you do decide to go wet.
    there, they have some tips on how to
    stay safe.
    2 Arctic travellers say it is easy to
    become dehydrated in cold
    weather. Make sure
    you drink enough water to keep your
    body working normally. Moving in the
    cold burns a lot of calories, so make
    sure you eat enough food, especially
    food that is high in calories and fat.
    That will help produce body heat. Carry
    enough food to last your entire trip.
    3 If it is –30 °C and there is a 50 kph
    wind, your skin will freeze in under five
    minutes. Arctic travellers suggest you
    wear windproof outer clothing and fur
    around your face. They suggest
    choosing warm thick boots and clothing
    with no air between the layers, as it is
    important to cover your hands and feet.
    These are the first parts of your body to
    get hurt due to severe cold. If your

    Precipitation in the form of snow will
    cause your body to lose heat. If snow
    starts to cover your clothing, brush it off
    before it melts.
    4 Other suggestions include being prepared
    for unexpected events. Travellers to the
    Arctic
    should take a GPS, compass and maps to
    make
    sure they don't get lost. They should also
    check
    their equipment before they leave to make
    sure
    that it works correctly and that they know
    how
    to use it. If a whiteout occurs, where there
    is so
    much snow travellers can't see where they
    are
    going, they should set up camp and wait for
    the
    weather to improve. Another dangerous
    thing
    to avoid is falling through weak ice. If you
    fall
    through, try to get out and roll in the snow
    so
    most of the water comes off you. Then
    change
    into dry clothes as soon as possible.
    5 Finally, Arctic travellers should look
    after each other. Make sure everybody
    travelling with you is warm, drinking
    enough water and eating enough food.
    If they show signs of frostbite or illness,
    take care of them. If everybody in your
    group is careful and takes care of each
    other, you should all stay safe.
