Creator's Key Takeaways

I just got back from a National Geographic expedition to Antarctica it was an amazing once in a-lifetime trip

number one you must have sunscreen there were numerous people on the ship that didn't have proper sunscreen and their faces got progressively burnt

number three tethers you need to be able to tether your phone camera and gloves to you forget about backpacks they are very impractical

number four wear lots and lots of layers for my head I wore a headband beanie neck Gator and off in the hood of my jacket

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use sunscreen with at least 45 SPF due to intense snow reflection

✓Wear inner and outer gloves, with mittens over liner gloves for warmth

✓Tether phone, camera, and gloves using lanyards or carabiners instead of backpacks

✓Wear multiple layers for head, body, and feet, including long johns and parka

✓Bring slippers or slip-on boots for walking between state room and excursion level

Keeping hands warm while taking pictures — Use inner medium-weight gloves and outer mittens that allow easy sliding of inner gloves
