Layers
It isn't as cold as you'd think; it was 30-35 farhenheit when I was there in late december. However, the wind gets cold, so I highly suggest a Gore-tex outer layer jacket. My jacket was just a Gore-tex shell and I was afraid it wouldn't be warm enough. But with layers of a sweatshirt or long thermal underwear and then a t-shirt over the top and then a polarfleece top I was plenty warm, sometimes too warm.I don't think the pants need to be gore-tex though. Waterproof and some wind resistance are enough for the pants. At least 2 pairs of gloves as you might get one wet. Casual clothes (jeans, sweatshirts) for onboard and most people wore the same things a couple of times so pack light and do the same! Laundry is very expensive ($1.50 for 1 pair of underwear, $3 for pair of pants), so keep that in mind too.$15 Walmart rubber boots are exactly what you need. Use wool socks inside and you...
