The excellent threads in this forum provide you with what you need to prepare for this tour. I’ll emphasize the following:
- Bring insect repellant. The mosquitos are unusually bad in Buenos Aires this year.
- Bring at least one trekking pole. They can be a huge help when you are walking on snow.
- Bring sun block, both for Buenos Aires and Antarctica.
- Antarctica is very dry so you may want moisturizing skin cream.
- Bring two pairs of heavy socks. After expeditions you remove your boots on deck and walk into the ship in your socks and they can get damp in the process. They will dry overnight, see below, but may not dry between morning and afternoon expeditions.
