Summary

We head into the beautiful mountain ranges of Norway and follow a survival story that seems impossible. When a woman has a ski accident, her body temperature plummets to a degree never recorded in a living person before. Medical professionals investigate how she could survive and in the process make huge advancements in medicine.

0:00.0	Survival stories have caught the attention of people for years. Hearing the stories of
0:07.7	the willpower people have to survive in some of the most grueling circumstances is inspiring.
0:15.8	When we hear the story of someone who fights their way away from an animal or treads through
0:20.8	hundreds of miles of wilderness with little supply and survives, we begin to imagine ourselves
0:28.0	in that scenario. Would we survive? How would we do it? What choices would we make? But what about
0:38.3	those situations that we can't make decisions about? What about circumstances of extreme
0:45.4	medical phenomenon? A person who survived something that, from a medical standpoint, is impossible.
0:53.2	Today, we're going to believe in the impossible. Because today, we're going to find out what it's
1:01.0	like to be frozen alive. Welcome to National Park After Dark.
1:16.9	You got me on the hook. I'll tell you that right now. I'm invested. It's a really interesting
1:34.0	story that we're going to talk about today. And we're going to a country that is super high

1:55.9	yesterday and earlier today and said, and I quote, if we don't go to Norway, I will rye it.
2:02.1	Which, and I quote, Danielle responded with, we have way too much stuff we're doing. We're going
2:12.0	to all these places. And if you keep doing this, I will rye it. That is true. I did say that.
2:19.9	Okay. Well, so I am very unfamiliar with Norway. I actually only know one person who's ever
2:27.6	been on vacation to Norway. So I'm very interested to learn more about it. And the story because
2:33.8	someone's getting frozen and living, I'm assuming. Yeah. And this is a survival story, which
2:39.2	as we've kind of said before, we just like survival stories because we know that there's
2:43.2	kind of a decent outcome. But the story I'm telling you is just so wild and there's so much
2:48.3	information. But first, we're going to talk a little bit about Norway. And I do want to say,
