I hate being cold, but didn’t let that stop me from booking an expedition cruise to Antarctica, the coldest place on earth. I visited during summer in the Southern Hemisphere, but Antarctica is cold year-round. I started worrying that I would spend my trip trying to warm up instead of enjoying the beauty of the frozen continent.
My Minnesota-born-and-bred husband reminded me that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. I took that advice to heart and put a lot of thought into my wardrobe for the trip. Here’s what kept my family and me warm, even as we were surrounded by icebergs and stark white snow day after day.
After testing clothing and accessories in some of the world’s most challenging conditions, I now have the tools I need to enjoy winter hikes, skiing, and standing in a field while my son plays soccer in frigid temperatures.
