Packing List

by southpoleadv

Bring the very best camera you can afford, know it and be prepared to shoot 50-100 rolls or more of film. Keep in mind that you very likely will NEVER be back here again. For most, being in Antarctica is a once in a lifetime chance...LIVE LARGE!If you are shooting digital, BRING BATTERIES!!!!! and wear them inside your coat, tucked deep in your clothing to keep them warm and so they dont loose charge.
