Being frozen alive truly is a horrendous way to die. However, there are certain instances wherein people
cheat certain death despite prolonged exposure to the cold. Today we will talk about 10 people who
were frozen in time, and lived to tell about it. Make sure you stay tuned for number 1, that one is truly a
miracle.
Number 10. Ewa Wisnerska
You would think that you would have to be in water or at least on land to get frozen, but that’s not
always the case. In February 2007, 35-year-old paraglider Ewa Wisnerska became frozen in the air as she
was paragliding over Manila, New South Wales, Australia.
Ewa was preparing for the World Paragliding Championships when a storm sucked her into the clouds.
She was continuously hit by rainfall and orange-sized hailstones as the storm took her from roughly
2,500 ft to 32,000 ft in just 15 minutes. She passed out as temperatures plummeted to minus 50 degrees
Celsius or –58 °F, and she could not get enough oxygen.
She regained consciousness about one hour later but could not control her paraglider because her
hands and gloves were frozen. She was flying at 22,600 ft at the time and was soon sucked into the
clouds again. The storm finally discharged her about 40 mi from her takeoff point.
Ewa was covered in ice by the time she landed. She did not suffer permanent injuries except for serious
frostbite around her ears. She spent one hour in a hospital before she was discharged.
Number 9. Erika Nordby
During the early morning hours of February 23, 2001, one-year-old Erika Nordby strolled into the icy
cold outside her home in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She only wore a T-shirt and diaper, which were
not enough to protect her from the temperature of minus 24 degrees Celsius. She soon froze in the
snow.
Her mother, Leyla, woke after 3:00 AM, surprised that Erika had not been crying for food. Leyla searched
for Erika and soon found her curled in the snow outside. Leyla carefully wrapped Erika with blankets,
afraid that she would break her daughter’s frozen limbs if she handled Erika too hard.
Paramedics and police soon arrived and took Erika to the hospital. Doctors were about to connect Erika
to a heart and lung machine that would have extracted and warmed her blood before returning it back
into her body when her heart started to beat again. Erika awoke 24 hours later.
Number 8. Mitsutaka Uchikoshi
On October 7, 2006, 35-year-old Mitsutaka Uchikoshi fell into a stream during a failed attempt to climb
Mt. Rokko in Japan. He broke his pelvis but remained conscious before passing out the next day. He was
rescued when another climber found his body 24 days after the accident. He had remained unconscious
the rest of the time he was lost.
While it appeared that Uchikoshi was not frozen, his temperature had fallen to 22 degrees Celsius (72
°F). He had maintained a low body temperature for an extended period of time. He also suffered from
blood loss and multiple organ failure.
Doctors were fascinated with the incident and touted it as the first recorded instance of a human
hibernating. They observed that Uchikoshi’s body shut down and slowly went into hibernation while
temperatures on the mountain fell as low as 10 degrees Celsius. Miraculously, he made a full recovery.
Number 7. Anna Bagenholm
In May 1999, Anna Bagenholm, a 29-year-old radiologist, was skiing with two other colleagues in the
Kjolen Mountains in Norway when she fell into a frozen stream. Her head was underwater while her legs
were above. Her colleagues tried pulling her out her, but the water was frozen. She was also stuck
between some rocks.
Luckily, she found a pocket of air under the ice, but things went from bad to worse. She was slowly
sinking into the water. She struggled to free herself for 40 minutes until she stopped moving. She
remained underwater for another 40 minutes until help arrived, at which point only her feet were above
the ice.
Bagenholm was frozen at the time she was rescued. She was not breathing, and her heart was not
beating. Her temperature was at an insanely low 13.7 degrees Celsius. No human had survived such an
extremely low body temperature at the time.
