Working+in+Antarctica++Leando

Imagine you have been sent to the Antarctica to work. What would you have to do to prepare for your journey? What training would you have to undertake? What clothing would you need? How would you get there? Where would you live and what food would you eat whilst there? Would food eaten on a field trip be different from food eaten whilst at the base?

=__**THINGS TO BRING:**__= When going to Antarctica it is crucially important that you wear proper clothing.You would need to wear the outer layer ,mid insulation layer, base core layer and accessories. =__**OUTER LAYER**__= The outer layer is located outside out of every layer that is worn. The outer layer can also be called the shell layer.This is the most important layer out of all of it.This needs to be windproof or it may be waterproof.Waterproof is not necessary for very cold weathers as no rainfalls, though if you intend to spend any time in boats waterproof is important as you don't want to get ashore after bouncing over an excitable sea to find you are wet and cold for the rest of the day.

=__**BASE CORE**__= The base core layer is located in the first layer that is worn.This layer needs to be soft and comfortable.In some cases the material is even treated so it prevents the build up of bacteria that live in sweaty clothes and make them smell(especially important if you don't have lots of changes of clothes). This includes hands,feet,head and eyes.In very cold weathers it is crucially important that you have 2 or 3 layers of glove to make your finger not fall apart.You can lose about 20% of your body heat through your head, the quickest way of warming up your whole body is to put on a hat (that is made out of wool)and having an extra hat in your pocket is always a good idea in cold conditions so that you can put it on when you stop walking/climbing to maintain your temperature even though your exertions are less.One or two thick warm socks will be alright for you(not ten socks).Boots must not be super heavy they only can be average,boots must not be normal boots.Boots need to be waterproof and warm.you need sunglasses to protect your eyes and wrap around sunglasses.

=**__MID INSULATION__**= The mid insulation layer is located between the outer layer and the base core layer.The mid insulation is a thin jacket that needs to be worn before the base core. More than one lightweight layer of shirt/s, sweater or jacket allow for flexibility by adding or removing according to weather and activity and is better than one thick heavy layer for insulation too as extra air gets trapped between the layers as well as within them.

These are the following examples of some of there training: 1.Survive in the cold - learn survival method in freezing cold 2.weight lifting - because in Antarctica it is very difficult to walk. __ How to get to Antarctica __
