Hypothermia, a precursor to death from freezing, occurs when body temperatures slip below about 35.0° C (95.0° F).

Given that most of the Antarctic continent exists in below-freezing temperatures, hypothermia is possible within about an hour without proper extreme cold weather clothing, and death by freezing will follow.

Why doesn't the freeze-thaw cycle happen in Antarctica?

In Antarctica, the temperature is consistently below freezing, so there is no opportunity for a freeze-thaw cycle to occur. The extreme cold prevents the melting phase of the cycle from happening, as temperatures remain too low for ice to melt.

Can a human survive on Antarctica where the temp is below 50 degree Celsius?

No, humans cannot survive in temperatures below -50 degrees Celsius without adequate protection and shelter. The extreme cold in Antarctica would lead to hypothermia and death if precautions are not taken.


Why do snakes need a heat rock?

Snakes need a heat rock because they are cold-blooded, meaning that the temperature around them affects their temperature. If the temperature in a snakes environment gets to cold, the snake will basically freeze to death.


Do you have spear clothes in the antarctica?

The practice of spearing clothes in Antarctica would only provide entry through the clothes for the cold and wind so that the human wearing these clothes would freeze to death, probably within about 15 minutes. This is not a practice common in Antarctica.
