A Swedish man survived for over two months in a snowbound car in temperatures as low as -22F (-30C), relying on the igloo effect to retain warmth, eating snow, and staying inside his warm clothes and sleeping bag.
The 45-year-old was discovered by snowmobilers who initially assumed the car was a wreck until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside, reported the Vasterbotten Courier newspaper.
“He was in a very poor state. Poor condition. He said he’d been there for a long time and had survived on a little snow.
“He said himself he hadn’t eaten anything since December,”
Doctors said they would normally expect a person to survive without food for around four weeks. One doctor told the newspaper that the man might have survived so long by going into a kind of hibernation. [source]
