🧦 SOCKS & LEGGINGS
✅ How to Layer for Warmth:
- Wear two pairs of socks.
- First layer: a thin thermal or silk pair.
- Second layer: a thick merino or wool pair.
- Pull your first pair of socks on first, then your merino leggings over the top of the first pair to seal in warmth.
- On colder days, add a second pair of thermal leggings for extra insulation.
- Next, pull your second, thicker socks over your leggings so everything is neatly tucked in — no cold gaps!
- Then, put your trousers on over the second pair of thermal leggings for maximum warmth and comfort.
- Finish with waterproof or ski pants — these act as your outer shell, keeping wind and water out while locking in body heat.

But as a teaser, it’s something to do with this map showing time zones in Antarctica.
Antarctica sits on every line of longitude so theoretically Antarctica would be located in all time zones. However for practical reasons time zones are usually based on territorial claims – this means Ross Sea is in New Zealand time zone while East Antarctica and Sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island is in Australian Eastern Standard Time. This is perfect for all our Australian and New Zealand Antarctic travellers.
