Camping in Antarctica
Extreme Camping
This was by far the most extreme camping I’ve ever done. I’ve never slept inside TWO sleeping bags, one inside the next… boy oh boy… was it ever cold getting in and out of that thing. And getting dressed inside a little tent? It was so cold and difficult… holy moly I will never forget it! But it was fun having Stu as a roommate! 🙂

We spent four days here in an area called the Dry Valleys on the main continent of Antarctica. Our main base was about an hour heli flight from here over at New Zealand’s Scott Base. This place does not sound very remote, but often times the weather is so bad that supplies or pickups can be delayed days or weeks. We ended up needing to stay one extra night because the weather was too bad for Hef to pick us up! I actually took this on the final morning… you can see what beauty the bad weather left behind.
See that glacier in the background? It was about an hour to hike over there… a hike I made many times!
