I am heading off to Coldfoot Alaska (Arctic Circle) via Fairbanks from Feb 14th 08 for a few days and would like some advise on what i need to ensure that i have on my trip.
I am going to photograph the Northern Lights so i will be outdoors and not active for a while, and at nights.
While i am out there i wll also do a hike just outside Coldfoot.
I have never been anywhere close to this kind of temperatire so all help is appreciated.
To give you a start i have the foll:
Cap 2-4 baselayers (top and bottoms)
North Face Fleeces -TKA 100 & 200 -(top and bottom)
Patagonia Micro Puff jacket & Patagonia Down Parka (just got this one because i dont trust the micro puff)
Sorel Timberwolf
Insulateed pants
Gloves (Patagonia windproof)
Thanks for the advice.
