Prepping for Antarctica SummerTravel

Now that I'm actually GOING to Antarctica, I see there are a lot of details. Ted Scambos of the National Snow and Ice Data Center is a mentor and supporter of my trip. He suggested a few items (new to me) such as a neck gaiter! There is controversy about silk, wool and new fabrics. I think the new fabrics that wisk moisture away from your skin, are what I'll choose. On my father's expedition they were just issued clothing. No research necessary! I love this Cool Antarctica site.
