With a water temperature of 10°C (50 F), hypothermia can be expected to lead to death in approximately 1 hour. With water temperatures hovering at freezing, an individual can die in as little as 15 minutes. The Arctic Ocean has a near constant surface temperature of around 32 degrees Fahrenheit, so an estimate of 15 minutes would be close.
