Driver stuck since December hibernated 'a bit like a bear', doctors say
STOCKHOLM — A Swedish man was being treated in hospital Sunday after being
dug out alive from his snow-buried car in which he had survived for two
months with no food, according to police and local media.
The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, emaciated and too
weak to utter more than a few words.
The BBC reported the temperature in the area had recently dropped to -22F (-
30C).
He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by
snowmobilers who thought they had come across a car wreck until they dug
their way to a window and saw movement inside.
The man, who was laying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been
in the car since December 19.
"Just incredible that he's alive considering that he had no food, but also
since it's been really cold for some time after Christmas," a rescue team
member told regional daily Vasterbottens-Kuriren, which broke the news.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the man appeared to have survived on
melted snow.
Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to
doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.
"We would not make something like this up. The rescue services were on site
too and saw the same as us," he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by
police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering
the circumstances.
Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for
about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably
survived by going into a dormant-like state, physician Stefan Branth told
Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
"A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that," he said. "He
probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees (Celsius) which the
body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up."
Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown, police
said.

发帖数: 15215 | 3 中新网2月21日电 据英国媒体20日报道，近日，一名瑞典男子在冰天雪地中被困超
过两个月时间后获救，最终幸运存活，令人感到人类生命力的顽强。
报道称，这名44岁的男子彼得·斯盖尔博格(Peter Skyllberg)2月下旬在一辆车中
被人发现，当时已奄奄一息，身体瘦弱，难以行走，几乎说不出话。他在零下30摄氏度
的严寒天气中被困在自己车内，周围是冰天雪地，令他被迫躲在车内保持体温。
不过，在被送到医院后，斯盖尔博格最终存活了下来，并能与其它人对话。医生对
他这两个月来的经历感到惊讶，认为“命大”的他是因为在雪堆中的汽车产生了“爱斯
基摩雪屋效应”，让他逃过一劫。
专家将他的幸存与“人类冬眠”联系到一起。专家认为，斯盖尔博格在车内进入一
种类似于熊冬眠的状态，体温降低，新陈代谢变慢，而这救了他一命，让他经受住了极
寒天气的考验。
斯盖尔博格对发现他的警察说，自去年从12月19日他开着车走下主路，开到森林小
径里车辆被困之后，他就一直待在自己车里，钻在睡袋和衣服堆里保持体温。由于缺乏
食物，他还依靠吃雪维持生命。 |
