關於本電子書
The book progresses logically from fundamental environmental challenges through practical applications, beginning with an in-depth analysis of polar-specific conditions like extreme wind chill and seasonal darkness. Drawing from a century of documented expeditions, it offers evidence-based insights into crucial aspects such as thermal efficiency of different materials and optimal layering systems, supported by thermal imaging data and field testing.
The guide particularly shines in its detailed coverage of cold-weather medicine, metabolic adaptation, and mental preparation strategies derived from sports psychology and military training. What sets this guide apart is its methodical integration of modern technology with traditional survival techniques, incorporating GPS and satellite communications while maintaining focus on fundamental survival skills.
Written for professional explorers, research teams, and serious outdoor enthusiasts, the book combines technical accuracy with accessibility, featuring practical exercises and checklists throughout. While primarily focused on polar environments, its principles extend valuable insights to high-altitude mountaineering and winter wilderness activities, making it an indispensable resource for anyone venturing into extreme cold conditions.
