What to Wear on Excursions | Antarctic Explorer with Viking Expeditions

Planning a trip to Antarctica and wondering what to wear on excursions? In this video, I’ll talk you through exactly how to dress for the extreme conditions of the White Continent - covering everything from base layers and mid layers to insulation and outerwear.

I travelled to Antarctica in early January 2025, when temperatures ranged between -1°C and 1°C (30°F to 34°F). However, with wind chill, some days felt much colder. That’s why layering correctly is essential for staying warm, dry and comfortable during your expedition.

Below, I’ll share the clothing and accessories I personally packed for my Antarctic Explorer Expedition with Viking (AD | PR Invite), ensuring I was fully prepared for the region’s ever-changing weather.

This is the first in a series of videos entitled: 'Antarctic Explorer with Viking Expeditions'.
