Antarctica Girls Fashion Party Gold Jewelry.

By Aamir Mannan.

Clothing worn in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica demonstrates important design changes developed to assist wearers with extreme weather conditions. Antarctic clothing history is split into two main eras: the heroic era from 1840 to 1917 and the scientific era from 1940 to the twenty-first century. Exploration that occurred between these eras was mainly sea-based for commercial reasons (sealing and whaling) and did not affect clothing design in any major way. At the beginning of the heroic era of Antarctic exploration, most of the clothing and equipment used was initially based on Arctic exploration.
