Which risk increases for polar exploration when experiencing albedo effect?

💡 Explanation

Increased albedo leads to more solar radiation reflected back into space via radiative heat transfer; therefore the risk of hypothermia increases because less heat absorbed means a greater net loss of heat, rather than other risks.
