It is like going to a different planet. The Antarctic continent is a land mass covered with ice. The ice is up to 4 kms thick. The highest point is about 4 km above sea level. Antarctica is the highest, driest, windiest, coldest continent in the world.
Clothing depends on the time of the year and what sort of activity the person is doing.
If we were working on the ice during summer we would have long woollen underwear with a number of layers on top. Probably covered up by a thick freezer suit. Sometimes we can get too hot but it is important to not sweat as this will freeze and could cause frost bite and lowering of body temperature. 1 X Tie, Aust. Antarctic 1 X Logo Cap.
