What should I pay attention to when traveling to the Arctic?

What clothes should I take to travel to the North Pole? I believe that this is a problem that many Arctic er need strategies. Although it was the local summer when I traveled, the average temperature was between -5℃ and 5℃, but I didn't really know whether it was the cold method in the north of China or the cold method in the south.

If the arctic sun is shining brightly, a warm suit+sweater and a coat will make you sweat a lot during a series of expeditions. So what clothes and equipment should be put in the suitcase? Needless to say, nothing is more sad and embarrassing than drinking wind in cold weather. So, prepare keywords: windproof, waterproof and warm.

Extreme Travel 2020-202 1 There are many Arctic travel routes to choose from.

I. Arctic clothing supplies

The golden rule: go up one layer at a time.

Upper body: thermal underwear+sweater/light down jacket+windproof waterproof fleece coat; If the cold index is 10, you can wear a light down jacket and a windproof coat over the sweater.

Lower body: warm pants+velvet leggings+waterproof bib/velvet pants.

Stratification principle of Arctic tourist coat

Technically speaking, according to the concept of layering of layers and clothing functions, Antarctic clothing is divided into three layers: basic layer, middle layer and outer layer.

The inner layer is close to the skin, and its main function is to keep warm, absorb moisture and sweat, and keep the skin comfortable and dry. Man-made fiber quick-drying clothes are superior to ordinary thermal underwear. Therefore, clothes that are too cautious are not recommended, and cotton products with poor air permeability are not recommended.

The middle layer is a barrier to keep warm and isolate, and it needs to absorb sweat and breathe. The more layers, the warmer it is. There are many choices in the middle layer, including fleece, light and warm cashmere, down vest and down jacket.

The outer layer is windproof, waterproof and breathable. In the Arctic, the outer layer comes standard with a fleece jacket that is windproof and waterproof. Attachment: There is also a size statement about the polar coat of the ship. Compared with the large size in Europe and America, we need to strictly compare the size table when choosing, or suggest that it is more suitable to fill in a smaller size.

Arctic travel pants also follow the concept of layering.

Underwear: The windproof and waterproof pants selected by Arctic tourism are the first choice. You can wear them outside and insert them directly into your coat pants before landing, which is convenient!

Outer pants: waterproof and warm pants, the recommended size is larger than usual, which is convenient for stuffing things inside. The coat and trousers outside should not be too heavy (to avoid the inconvenience caused by overstaffing), and it is not easy to be too tight. Landing boots need to be worn in pants. Every time you land, just wear a pair of warm pants and a pair of fluffy waterproof pants.

Because waterproof boots are prepared on board, you don't need to buy them separately. There are no slippers on board, so you need to bring your own sandals. On the way, casual shoes, sports shoes, leather shoes or booties in spring and summer are OK, casual ~

Hat and gloves

In the extremely cold and windy Arctic Ocean, a hat that can protect your ears is very important. Protect your ears, keep warm from wind, and you can wear it alone or put it in the hat of your coat. This is a good hat lined with wool. The outdoor brands recommended above are all produced, so I won't go into details. Ordinary wool caps or baseball caps are not suitable.

It is suggested to prepare two pairs of gloves: one pair is waterproof and warm, preferably with velvet lining, which is especially suitable for assault boat patrol, windproof and warm; Another pair of thin touch screen cotton gloves, or thin wool gloves, is convenient for mobile phone operation and photography.

Scarf (silk scarf)&; Magic square towel

Cover your face to avoid solar radiation or snowstorm, and protect your neck and face from the cold wind. Choose warm and airtight materials, and it is not recommended to carry scarves made of silk and knitted wool.

Sunglasses/UV ski goggles

In the Arctic, the reflection of sunlight on the ice and water will produce a lot of glare. Good quality sunglasses or ski goggles will protect your eyes from the sun, water and snow. Wearing sunglasses or anti-ultraviolet ski goggles can reduce the damage to the eyes. It's more convenient to wear sunglasses. Negative teaching material: Mark Chao didn't wear sunglasses when shooting in the Antarctic, and as a result, he suffered from snow blindness for a short time.

swimsuit

If you plan to swim on the ice on Deception Island or try polar diving on an Antarctic boat, you should prepare a bathing suit or swimming trunks. It is recommended that beautiful women who want a concave shape bring a colorful bikini.

sunscreen cream

The hole in the Antarctic ozone layer leads to particularly strong ultraviolet rays, so sun protection has become a necessary task. Be sure to prepare sunscreen with a high enough SPF. Even if it is cloudy, you can't be lazy. You need to arm your lips and nose. Recommended products: Shiseido ANESSA 50+ Sunscreen, Australia Universal Papaya Cream, South Africa Aloe Gel (calming skin and repairing after sun exposure).

Five. Anti-seasickness drugs and personal standing drugs for Arctic tourism

To prevent seasickness, please prepare one or two seasickness medicines, seasickness stickers or anti-seasickness wristbands. (If you cross the Drake Strait by cruise, it is recommended to take the commonly used seasickness medicine to prevent seasickness. There is little possibility of getting seasick on the flight route. )

Intransitive verb Arctic travel photographic equipment

In Antarctica, the scenery on postcards can be seen everywhere. Photographers should bring their personal belongings according to their own equipment and preferences: mobile phones, card machines, micro-singles and SLR can all create blockbusters. Gopro is also recommended for its wide viewing angle and can be used for fun selfies and launches. It is worth mentioning that tourists are not allowed to use drones to shoot in Antarctica.

Regarding the lens, f2 takes professional SLR photography as an example. Lens 24-70mm, 70-200mm as the standard. It is no problem to record the scenery and portraits of the journey, but you will miss the pictures of polar animals. Therefore, it is recommended to equip a lens with a focal length of more than 400mm to professionally "shoot" seabirds, penguins and whales. Ultra-wide angle or fisheye lens will bring strong tensile distortion and increase the interest of shooting.

Other equipment: tripod, OSMO stabilizer (for shooting video), octopus (which can be fixed on the ship for time-delay shooting), medium gray polarizer and color card, waterproof camera bag, waterproof camera cover, charger, enough memory card and standby power supply.

Waterproof! Waterproof! Waterproof! Besides waterproof clothes, you need personal items, especially photographic equipment!
