I will be shortly heading to the north of Sweden to undertake a snow shoe trek. Currently the weather is -22 degrees centigrade.

I'm trying to work out what a good camera option is without spending more than, say £450.

My phone is likely to die rapidly in those sort of temperatures added to which there will be no mains electricity over night to recharge (and certainly no internet).

The other consideration is that we have to carry all of our equipment for the 6 days so it can't be too bulky.

Any suggestions?

One trick I recall is keeping spare batteries warm under your armpit...
