How long you will last in Arctic water depends a lot on your genetic baggage ~ a square heart helps, plus you want to make sure your system doesn't shut down blood flow to your arms and legs instantly.

It's good if your body is set up to INCREASE metabolic rates rather than to DECREASE them.

Even Tropical people can survive for a good 20 minutes. The record in the Far North for someone with the correct baggage is 6.5 hours! She's a med tech in a Norwegian hospital.

The lady was older and sick. She may well have been in the early stages of death anyway. The record shows she could have survived much longer than 8 minutes.
