In the peak of summer, the sun doesn’t really set on the Antarctica Peninsula, it just gets kind of a dusty feel in the middle of night. Towards the end of the expedition cruise season the sunsets are earlier, for example in March they will be around 9pm (depending on exactly where you are).
We recommend layering up. Should it be warm, you can take a layer off. Speak to your cruise advisor and they can send you details, and a packing list specific to your cruise. The jacket is not provided by all cruise operators and those that do include it, the quality/warmth can vary. So best to check and discuss with them. Have a great trip!
When its bitterly cold, with strong winds I welcomed the warmth. Everyone feels the cold differently. As mentioned in the video, layering is key! Then you can easily adapt to the conditions when you're there.
Does the sun set or sets and it’s dusk?

Going in December this year. Was going with a base layer, fleece top then jacket they give you. Not enough? Thanks for any advice

My ski pants are waterproof so don’t think I need all these layers. I’m always hot. Didn’t you get hot and sweaty with all those tops?

Poor audio always wrecks a good video.
