Not so long ago, someone asked this question about a hypothermia situation in a book. I would like to read said book, but the title isn't mentioned. What is the book?

I've been reading a fiction book set in Antarctica, which goes into a lot of detail on frostbite, severe cold, etc. One of the characters gets caught in an underground hot spring, but thinks that he is safe because the water is relatively warm. His companion says that "human beings can die of hypothermia even in a bath at 90F if they are immersed long enough." Could this really happen? [more inside]
