I have never agonized over packing for a trip like I did for this adventure. I don’t get cold as easily as some, but if I realized in Antarctica that I needed more clothes, it would be too late! I looked at many articles online and talked to friends who had made this same trip in previous years. Everything on my list below was used except I never ended up using the fleece pants (my thermal underwear was lined and cozy enough), I never ended up using my swimsuit (too busy for the hot tub), and I used my normal (hiking) socks instead of the merino wool ones.

• Everyday clothes
  • 12 t-shirts
  • 5 casual pants
  • 2 capris (for Buenos Aires)
  • Underwear & socks
  • Sneakers
  • Sandals for Buenos Aires
  • Bathing suit (for the hot tub)
  • Light jacket (mostly for the plane)
• Landing clothes
  • 2 fleece jackets
  • 1 fleece pants
  • 2 pairs thermal underwear
