Come prepared

In the region you are bound to be making a number of wet landings in zodiacs - hence waterproof boots are strongly recommended. Also be prepared for changes in weather - from one moment the sun is shining without a breeze to the next second when strong winds and snow make the stay pretty uncomfortable if you are not dressed correctly. Warm and water proof clothes and you will enjoy this part of the world!
