>> But, valid studies have shown that BRM is increased in acclimitazation. ..and in humans, It takes awhile for the "thermostat" to reset. So, where did all of the members of the expedition live? Were they *all* from Texas? (now that would be a better test) or were the inuit members from Alaska... and the other members from lower latitides? I'd like to read the "experiment." Robert >> The information I gave you is what I remember from a talk Schurke gave in Minneapolis shortly after the expedition. Schurke, at least, is from northern Minnesota, and the Inuit were from Alaska. There were Russians, also, and maybe a New Zealander. There is a cold research laboratory at the University of Minnesota in Duluth, and I think one or more of its researchers conducted the tests. That's all the info I have; maybe a search of the Web would turn up more.
