How Did Captain America Survive Being Frozen For 70 Years?

In the movie, Captain America is injected with a super-serum that gives him heightened agility, strength, and endurance. This super-serum allows him to enter a state of suspended animation, which is why he remains alive and well for the next seventy years.

In the movie Captain America: The First Avenger, towards the end, Captain America crashes the airplane into the Arctic with himself still inside it. He does this because he cannot land the aircraft without detonating the weapons. After a long wait of 70 years, he is finally found and discovered to be alive. The scene then cuts to the present day, where Cap wakes up in a 1940s-style hospital room without a single scratch or bruise on his body!

Suppose you follow Captain America in any way, either through movies or comics. In that case, you know that unlike other Marvel superheroes (e.g., Thor, Spiderman, and Wolverine), he has no supernatural powers. Cap is a ‘regular’ human with heightened agility, strength, and endurance. However, how Steve Rogers, a rather sickly, scrawny youngster, transformed into Captain America is a different story altogether. But the question is, how could he possibly survive being frozen for no less than seventy years?

Your instinctive response may be, ‘Well, that’s because he’s a superhero, right?’

That wouldn’t be incorrect, but is there a scientific reason behind Cap’s miraculous escape after being buried in snow for 70 years?
