Clothing
Temperatures in Antarctica almost never reach above freezing. Even though it is cold, many explorers and visitors travel to Antarctica. It is very important to dress in clothing that will keep the body warm. Loose, comfortable layers are the best choice. If you traveled to Antarctica, you would need several items of clothing.

Warm pants and sweaters are a good choice. Ski pants are the best choice. Gloves and hats will protect your hands and your head. It is important to keep your hands warm and dry.

A parka or jacket will keep out the wind. Bright colors are more visible. Warm socks and boots keep your feet warm and dry. Waterproof boots with a waffle sole are best.
