Given the numerous calls for researchers to examine teams in the wild to better understand the impact of context on team dynamics and performance, there has been increased consideration of teams operating within extreme environments. As such, this special issue is focused on better understanding the factors that shape teamwork in extreme environments so that the lessons learned can be leveraged within extreme as well as in other team contexts as appropriate. To this end, we present five exemplar papers that span disciplines, address diverse research questions in unique samples, and employ varied methodologies and research designs. Each of these papers not only contributes new insights to the understanding of teams in extreme environments (i.e., lessons) but also highlights the challenges that exist in conducting research in such contexts and sets the stage for additional opportunities within the extreme team literature moving forward
