My Explanation About What You Need To Live In The Antarctic

What You Need To Live In The Antarctic
The Antarctic is a brutal place for species that have not adapted. And going
there all of a sudden without being properly prepared could be life-threatening.
The Antarctic has many dangers and most of them could knock you out cold in
about three minutes. With that here are some things you MUST do if you think
you are ready to survive in the Antarctic.


The Antarctic is a Huge continent spreading over 4.5 million square miles.
And the average temperature is -60° that can easily cause frostbite and
hypothermia. It also comes with many dangers, like unsteady crevasses and
cracked ice. As well as deadly weather and predators. Although there are not
many predators, they still are wary because they could become aggressive if
they feel in danger. So make sure you try your best to avoid these things.


Avoiding these things is only a quarter of things you need to do if you want
to give living in Antarctica a try. Having the right supplies and correct gear is
definitely needed. Make sure that if you're bringing diesel or fuel make sure it's
antifreeze because it could freeze and won't be so useful after that. Bringing the
right type of clothing is a must because of the temperature and weather.
Clothing like leather on the outside and wool on the inside is great because it
will keep the cold out. Pants that are similar to that are great as well because
they will do the same and keep you warm. A warm hat, gloves, and socks are
good as well because they will decrease your chance of getting frostbite or
hypothermia. You also might want to bring snow boots so that traveling will
be a bit easier, or a snowmobile.


No trees or plantation is found anywhere in Antarctica so bringing food wise
things that you can re-grow like plants is a great idea. But you're going to need
power and warmth to make the plants grow. To produce the power you could
use solar panels that get the rays of the sun and turn it into power. Then the
power could help you to start up some heaters for a base so that you don’t get
hypothermia overnight. It's also free, with no costs involved. Water shouldn't
be a problem though because the ice in Antarctica is half freshwater and the
rest is salt. All you need to boil it so the germs in the water will die.


In conclusion, these are some of the main things you will need to have and
do if you think you are ready to face the harshness of Antarctica.
