Human body in ice: The body of an army soldier was found buried in snow after 56 years. In 1968, an AN-12 aircraft of the Indian Air Force had an accident in the Rohtang Pass in Himachal Pradesh. The soldiers had been missing since this incident. Today, his remains are being brought home. In such a situation, the question arises: for how many years can a human body remain safe in the snow? Know what the science says…
How long can a person survive in the snow?
Scientists believe that if a living person lives in the snow, to stay safe they will need to maintain their body temperature. It can withstand cold up to -50 degrees, but if it stands in open snow for a long time, the body begins to deteriorate only after -5 degrees. As a result, the blood vessels in the hands, legs and arms become stiff. As a result, the blood in the body may stop providing heat to the skin. As a result, the whole body can become cold. For this reason he may also die.
How many days can a body remain safe after being buried in snow?
When a person is buried under snow, his body gradually begins to freeze from the cold. During this process, organ cells begin to freeze, which protects the body. Body position in the snow depends on many factors such as temperature, humidity and wind speed. Depending on these, the state of the body in the snow changes, but in general the body can remain safe in the snow for 100-200 years.
How many days can a body be preserved after death?
If a person’s corpse is normally kept in ice, it can only be kept for two to three days, because after that the corpse starts to smell bad. It then becomes difficult to keep it.
body temperature
Body temperature is around 36.5 degrees Celsius. If the temperature drops below 30 degrees or exceeds 42 degrees, a person can die. Health experts said that if the maximum temperature reaches 45 degrees, blood pressure may decrease due to symptoms such as fainting, dizziness or nervousness. At the same time, if you stay at a temperature of 48-50 degrees or more for a long time, the muscles may react completely and death may also occur.
