Antarctica is genuinely a frozen paradise at the bottom of Earth. It’s extreme climates make it an unlikely destination for your average traveler. However, those who venture there are rewarded by glacier-strewn vistas that can’t help but take one’s breath away. So if you’re looking for something really special to mark off your bucket list, why not escape into this winter wonderland.

Determining what to include in your Antarctica Packing List is a unique challenge due to the harsh and unpredictable weather conditions in this remote region. Your body will get cold, especially when just sitting on the zodiac boat for a few hours. No active movement and wind from the boat moving will not be fun if you’re not prepared.
