Indian soldiers are deployed in Siachen, the world’s highest war zone. The temperature here often reaches -30 degrees. They protect our borders amidst snow several feet thick. But they are given proper training for this. Tools are provided so that they can save themselves. Can keep yourself safe in such inaccessible places. Otherwise, a common man would not be able to survive even for a few hours at this temperature. But today we are going to tell you about a person who came out alive even from the freezing cold. Blood was leaking from his feet, but he did not give up.
The matter is of March 1984. 23-year-old Gulaugar Friarsson Heimi became trapped in Ströhöfi in southern Iceland. Surrounded by snow on all sides, this is a place where the strongest winds blow. At the time Gulaugar was stuck there, the temperature had gone below -2 degrees Celsius. His clothes were soaked with sea water. Due to being buried in snow, his legs got torn, due to which blood started leaking. Within a few moments he started getting dehydrated. Actually, when the air becomes dry in winter. Due to lack of moisture in the air, the moisture in the lungs decreases when we exhale. This causes dehydration.
If you have less clothes then light a fire
Gulaugar somehow crossed the snow and reached near a bathtub kept for sheep. Broke a centimeter thick layer of ice with his fist and somehow drank the water. According to BBC report, after being trapped for hours, they somehow came out. According to experts, our body protects itself from cold in three ways. Firstly, there should be some equipment like clothespin or heater-blower. Second, you should be hiding at a place where air is not available. And the third way is fire. If you have less clothes, light a fire. If you don’t do this, you will commit a mistake.
3 weeks in the snow
A similar incident happened in 2019 also. When 30-year-old Tyson Steele was trapped in a similar situation in Susitna Valley, Alaska. There was a blanket of snow all around them. But it was fortunate that they had some means of lighting the fire. They slept with the fire lit at night. But then the fire burnt their tarpaulin. As a result, he had to spend 3 weeks amidst snow.
