How many photos do you think you will take in Antarctica? Use that amount and then double it to get closer to the figure it will probably be in the end. The landscapes and the wildlife are just so spectacular and unique that people can't help themselves and take vast amou
Getting a credit card is very important set for most adults, however not everyone knows what to look for especially if your credit is blemished. Look for APRs or the annual percentage rate this is the amount of interest that you will pay if you carry a balance. APRs are stated in yearly interest rates.Because with multiple interest rates, for example you may think that you have a low interest rate of 8% and if you take out a cash advance your interest rate may jump to 19%. Sometimes you have a tired interest rate, meaning tha
The elements are particularly unforgiving at the bottom of the world so if you are not fully prepared you won't be able to enjoy your trip to its fullest potential and for most this will be a once in a lifetime journey. So use this list to make sure that you can tick off the five most important items that should go with you to the Antarctic...
1. Antarctica Clothing
Imagine you wake up one morning, go outside, glance at your trusty thermometer and find out that the temperature is a chilling -89?C (-129?F). This was the coldest day ever measured on earth at the Vostok Station Antarctica on July 21, 1983.
The temperatures you experience on a trip to Antarctica won't be that extreme because you will be going in the summer which runs from late November to March every year but you will still need to dress for some serious cold as it regularly goes below freezing even at that time of the year.
So the number one thing to add to your packing list is winter clothing that you can layer to help you deal with the climate. You will need an inner foundation layer, an insulating mid layer and an outerware shell layer to be ready for the worst weather that Antarctica can throw at you.
Remember there are four main activities that you will engage in on your trip so prepare your clothing accordingly - Spending time inside on the cruise ship, going out on deck to look at wildlife and the scenery, cruising in the small Zodiac boat and landing on the ice for day excursions and sometimes a nights camping.
2. Seasick Pills/Patches
Leave these behind at your peril. The Drake Passage is one of the roughest stretches of sea in the world and even though you might be lucky enough to have one calm crossing, two is pushing your luck a little.
Being seasick won't kill you but it's not a lot of fun at the time and there are a few things you can try to avoid it but results will vary from person to person:
1) Scopolamine patches 2) Meclizine (Non Drowsy Dramimine, Bonine), Dimenhydrinate (Dramimine) or antihistamines (Benedryl) 3) Ginger tablets 4) Homeopathic remedies like Trip Ease and Oral Spray 5) If all else fails the doctor on board can give you a shot.

The use of make-up has been around for more than a thousand or so years. Artifacts have shown ancient civilizations used make-up for religious ceremonies and for everyday occasions. Since we know that people have worn it for years then why are there so many questions about it.People still question whether or not make-up is healthy for you, can it cause cancer, or if it is made out of harmful chemicals. The answer to all three of these questions is no, by the way. So, we’re going to lay it all out on the table for you. The people a

Although there was a delay in delivering the number of Xbox 360s that consumers demanded for the 2005 holiday season, Microsoft is expected to manufacture over 2 million of the gaming consoles in the first quarter of 2006. It's estimated that about 1 million Xbox 360s made it to stores in time for the holidays, so there's a pent-up demand for the console. In addition, reported bugs and cooling problems will likely be worked out in the near future. The Xbox isn't the only consumer electronic hitting the news these days. At the 2006

As the publisher of a women’s business magazine in Alberta, Canada, I dredge through hundreds of press releases regularly with my eyes glazed over.Why are they glazed over? Well everyone pitches their product or service with boring news releases about how successful they are being a mother and running a business. If that is the case then I want to see the proof in the pudding. Give me concrete examples of your success!Are you still frustrated because you are only one of the few people who know about your fantastic business? G
3. Digital/Video Camera and Binoculars
How many photos do you think you will take in Antarctica? Use that amount and then double it to get closer to the figure it will probably be in the end. The landscapes and the wildlife are just so spectacular and unique that people can't help themselves and take vast amounts of pictures.
And why not? This is a once in a lifetime experience so you need to record it for posterity but remember to take as many memory cards as you possibly can or if you have space take a laptop with to download all your photographs daily.
Most of the cruise ships have a computer on board but you will be sharing it with the rest of the passengers so burning a CD might not be a viable option.
And remember that extreme cold degrades the life of the camera battery so you need to take precautions for that.
Your own pair of binoculars will be very handy for spotting wildlife and far off scenery.
4. Sunglasses
A good pair of sunglasses or even two in case one gets lost is essential. Snow blindness is a real possibility here when the sun is shining brightly and in the summer you have up to 20 hours of sunlight and they also protect your eyes from windblown snow. Make sure the sunglasses you choose have a U.V. filter and a good polarizing effect.
5. Backpack
When you go out in the Zodiac to make a landing on the ice you are going to want to take a few things with you like your camera, binoculars, sunscreen, chap-stick etc and the best way to carry them all is in a waterproof backpack. Waterproof because things can get a bit rough in the landing craft and sometimes there is some spray thrown around.
The daypack will keep your hands free for things like photography and clambering around on the ice. If it is a warm day and you have too many layers on you can always remove something and store it in the backpack.
