On the wonderfull Norwegian Arctic trip with BcUK this feb I managed to get a small cut
on my top lip.
We were outside having lessons and it was a chilly -22 that afternoon.
The interesting thing was that I could not get the the bleeding to stop for about 2 hours!
despite constant pressure!
I thought that the sub-zero temps would help with vaso-constriction!?
So why do we bleed like stuck pigs in arctic conditions??
Any ideas?
