1. A monitor system for monitoring at least one condition of an animal in an extreme environment, comprising:

  • at least one physiological sensor to measure at least one physiological measurement from the animal;

    at least one environmental sensor to measure at least one environmental measurement from a region near the animal;

    at least one processor;

    a database comprising;

    at least one threshold value, wherein the at least one threshold value comprises a maximum safe value of the at least one condition of the animal, and wherein the at least one threshold value is a function of at least one condition of the animal; and

    at least one data quality criterion; and

    an application executed by the processor to;

    select a subset of the at least one physiological measurement and the at least one environmental measurement based on the at least one data quality criterion;

    calculate the at least one condition of the animal using the subset of the at least one physiological measurement and the at least one environmental measurement;

    retrieve the at least one threshold value;

    compare the at least one condition of the animal to the at least one threshold value, wherein each threshold value comprises the maximum safe value of each of the at least one conditions of the animal; and

    produce an alarm signal if the at least one condition of the animal exceeds the at least one threshold value.
