their 2001 championship title.
During the first game, Iceland’s pressure

Outdoor Winter Tips
Although Spring has arrived , winter conditions continue to exist.
Adults and children alike have to prepare themselves appropriately
when going outside, either to work or play. The weather elements of
cold, wet, and wind should always be taken into consideration. Each
element by itself has a certain risk factor but the combination of these
three elements together greatly increases that risk factor. The risk of
frostbite and hypothermia is much greater when these weather ele-
ments are combined. The best way to combat the risk of this combi-
nation of elements, especially considering the unpredictability and
variability of Icelandic weather, is to always be prepared.
Dress in layers, with good insulating materials closer to the body
and waterproof materials on the outside.
Wool is a good insulating material that continues to insulate even
if it gets wet.
Cover as much of the face, neck, and head as possible, while main-
taining good vision. Up to half of the body heat can be lost through
the head and neck area.
Keep aware of the weather conditions a.
Children should know that if they are cold, wet, and/or miserable,
they go in.
