Antarctica

Antarctica, especially the interior, is the ultimate testing ground.  From blizzards and the cold at the Sth Pole, Antarctica will break things.

We hiked, climbed, dived and camped on the polar plateau at -40 C ( -40 F). We dived with J2 baselayers underneath drysuits. We visited the Sth Pole, Emperor Penguins and incredible Ice Waves. All the materials we use responded flawlessly to the extreme cold except one particular type of webbing which we have since swapped out. Antarctica, especially the interior, is breathtakingly raw and beautiful and needs to be protected.
