Learn to adapt and survive the coldest and highest points
in the world.It is difficult to imagine how anyone would enter into a polar
or mountainous region unprepared. You’re prepared for your journey
or you arrive by accident; for example, the aircraft you are
traveling in has crash-landed over the frozen tundra, or your mode
of transport has broken down in the wilderness. In all cases,
providing you are uninjured, your chances of survival are good.
Planned travel in a cold or mountainous environment should mean
that you are well clothed and equipped.

In both winter and summer, the Northern Arctic offers an abundant
supply of water and food; shelter can be found or constructed above

During the Second World War a number of service men became marooned
in the arctic wasteland—most of them died. They did so because few
ventured far from their crash site, they made no attempt to catch
fish, hunt game, or even attempt to travel south. None that were
later found had prepared a rescue signal, and most had died not
from the cold but from starvation.
