What is the best month to travel to Antarctica? What luggage should I take?

The most suitable season for Antarctic travel is June 1 1 to February of the following year, because it is located in the southern hemisphere, so it is summer. The Antarctic has always given people the feeling that it is very cold. The lowest temperature observed and recorded by humans occurred in the South Pole, which was 92 degrees below zero. Therefore, it is a great challenge for ordinary travelers to spend the winter in Antarctica.

But! Summer! One of the most popular destinations for Antarctic tourism, the temperature in the Antarctic Peninsula is between-10 ~ 5! Compared with the extremely cold weather in many parts of the country before the Spring Festival, the minus 5 degree in Antarctica is still quite warm.

According to the feedback provided by CYTS tourists and professional and experienced tour guides who returned from Antarctica in previous years, the following luggage list for Antarctic tourism is compiled for reference only:

(1) Waterproof coat: It's very important, but don't worry, we'll prepare this! You don't have to bring your own.

CYTS Travel Network specially presented a professional polar adventure jacket for guests traveling to Antarctica. This kind of jacket not only keeps out the cold and keeps warm, but also has the function of uniform clothes and bright colors, because all sunglasses, hats and scarves are Antarctic armed, which is not conducive to identifying group tourists, so it is convenient for expedition members to identify!

(2) Waterproof boots and pants: essential items, used when cruising and landing on assault boats. It is recommended to prepare in advance.

(3) Sunglasses or snow goggles: It's very important, because watching the Antarctic ice and snow for a long time is very harsh, which may even lead to snow blindness, so you must wear sunglasses to cover it.

(4) Sunscreen and body lotion: Antarctic ultraviolet rays are strong and the climate is very dry. It is suggested that both men and women should bring SPF50+ sunscreen and prepare body lotion and hand cream to fight against dry climate.

(5) Windproof headscarf: Be sure to bring it! When the assault boat sails, the wind will be strong and the neck and face will be particularly cold. At this time, it will be warmer if you bring a windbreaker. Don't dislike ugliness, but it is practical. You can wrap the whole head and neck.

(6) Photographic equipment: Antarctica is really a place for all kinds of long guns and short guns. TV focus, micro-single, sports camera, mobile phone ... do your best. It is particularly worth mentioning that sports cameras will be very useful in Antarctica, and can record many dynamic moments. One thing that needs special explanation is that tourists are not allowed to bring drones into the Antarctic (except for professional scientific research and shooting needs)! Please also pay attention.
