Correct, extremely dangerous to eat snow when in those conditions , versus at Ayers Rock or Death Valley, it's "water" almost always there if you know how!
Always carry a plastic bag when trekking, it'll save your life.

EDIT: 1 hour later after having gone off in to the arctic again in my mind, remembering as I a young boy in the 1980ies used to play around in the snow, go on trips with snowmobiles and getting survival knowlage from my grandfather and uncle. Damn it was awsome! I long for it so damn much that I just want to get on a plane right now! But cant  |
