This is a record of clothing and personal gear I took with me to Antarctica.
Personal Clothing:
Patagonia Expedition Weight Zip Tees/Bottoms
Patagonia Medium Weight Zip Tees
Patagonia El Cap Pants
Patagonia Marsupial Sweater
Jacket/Windbreaker
Wool Socks
Carhartt Pants
Denim Jeans
Assorted Tee Shirts
Gym Shorts
Other Gear:
La Sportiva Eiger Boots
Jumblo Glacier Glasses
Outdoor Research Crocodile Gaiters
Athletic Shoes
Water Bottles
Now the following list is of the Extreme Cold Weather clothing (ECW)
I expect to receive from the National Science Foundation in Christchurch,
NZ before I deploy to McMurdo. Once I get these clothes, I update
the list with any extra I receive:
Polar Fleece Balaclava (kind of like a ski mask)
Neck Gaiter
Assorted Pairs of Gloves and Mittens
Knit Hat
Yazoo Cap
Polar Fleece Jacket
Expedition Jacket
Polar Fleece Bib
Wind Bid
Field Trousers
Red Parka
Wool Socks
Expedition Thermals
Thermal Rubber Boots (bunny boots)
At the beginning of February 2002, I will deploy to Palmer Station via the R/V Lauernce M. Gould. When I do this, I'll have to leave McMurdo through NZ and then travel to Punta Arenas where the ship leaves from. When that happens, I'll return my ECWs and get new gear issued to me. When that happens, I'll update my list again.
