the human body.

For the short period we were in those conditions,
forty below did not feel as cold as
I thought it would be.

plus

It is difficult for me to comprehend that parts of the world
accept a negative 40 degrees as normal.
However, I guess those same parts of the world would
find it equally difficult to live in our climate which
even in southern Victoria exceeds
plus 40 degrees in summer.

With the temperature destined
to reach Forty Below
we were all happy to step out
into room temperature again.

chill
All my chill images should have
provided us with a chilling experience…
…unfortunately, the opposite was true.
Although it was snowing on
Canada’s Athabasca Glacier in Alberta,
moving around kept us warm.
Even our visit to
Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier
was undertaken in bright sunshine.
I must confess wearing more than
a cotton shirt on the
glacier visits though.

~~~~~
shiver
shake slightly and uncontrollably
as a result of being cold,
frightened, or excited
~~~~~
A few minutes in the Forty Below chamber
and most of us were of the opinion
that it was not as cold as expected.
I daresay a few minutes more,
would have produced an outbreak
of the shivers though.
