Svalbard is a group of islands located between the Arctic Ocean and northern seas of Europe. The climate is extremely cold, with temperatures ranging from -46 to 21 degrees Celsius. Proper equipment like warm clothing, sleeping bags, food, and first aid is essential for withstanding the harsh conditions. The integumentary, circulatory, and respiratory systems are most affected by the frigid temperatures and wind. Hypothermia is a major health risk due to the cold, wet, and windy environment.
