KAREN COPELAND, Natural History Staff, Top Picks & Other Essential Items

Layering is always the best technique for dressing no matter what your destination. In high latitudes waterproof and windproof outer layers are essential. When packing, my boots are the first things to find their way into the suitcase. The Arctic Sport Boots is ideal – knee high, waterproof, with a good tread and comfortable too. Thawing upper levels of permafrost and glacial outwash streams can be muddy and we hike in our boots routinely.

Waterproof outer pants are also a necessity. The Zodiac Rider's Waterproof Pants are great for repelling spray on Zodiac rides and can be hosed off at the tender entrance if mud is encountered on shore.

Fingers are often the first body parts to succumb to the weather. I’ve struggled for years in polar climates looking for a perfect solution. Cameras and binoculars require gloves and yet warmth is best attained when wearing mitts. The "3 in 1” Waterproof Latitude Mitts work well and can even be combined with a second lining layer if needed.

I look forward to sharing the beauty and excitement of the polar realms with each and every one of you.
