"If you have no idea what to pack or wear for an excursion in Antarctica and want to avoid being wet, cold ... well this video is for you!" 👉🏼 Share this with your #Antarctica travel buddies. Antarctic weather can change rapidly, so layers are key! This is what I wore and I was never cold: - thermal base layers - ski socks - mid layer fleece; we both wore @rab.equipment @rab.equipment.uk - ski pants (I wore extra pair of waterproof trousers over these for the rainy/snowy zodiac cruises) - Swan Hellenic Parka which is a 2 in one jacket! It includes a puffer and waterproof shell & is comparable to a good ski jacket. - glove liners (to take photos/use your phone) - waterproof gloves - trust me you’ll need these!! - neck buff & hat/beanie - sunglasses 😎 don’t underestimate the glare even on cloudy days! - life jacket - mandatory & will be provided by the cruise company - Swan Hellenic drybag - for extra layers & to keep my camera dry! - camera 📷 - Swan Hellenic muck boots (not in video), you’ll be fitted for these on your first day on board Message us on @sarahandfraser if you have any Antarctica-related questions, and if you’re planning an expedition with @swanhelleniccruises, drop us a message we can get you a couple of extra onboard perks 😌
