Abstract

Living, operating and training in adverse and exposed environmental situations place humans at risk of climatic injury including non-freezing cold injury. Non-freezing cold injury has caused, and continues to cause, significant problems to both civilians and military personnel exposed to cold. This article reviews the impact of this condition through history and identifies lessons that can be drawn for prevention based on historical and contemporary evidence.
