Antarctica is a hard place to get to and an even harder place to get out of in an emergency. And so the Fearless Four are covered by all sorts of doctor’s certificates and insurance policies which the tour company insist on and are therefore mandatory.
Apart from this, Antarctica is not the kind of place to be caught out without your favourite medicines to treat everyday ailments as well as some others that are a risk on a trip like this such as sea-sickness and, believe it or not, sunburn. Thus it is that the Fearlesss Four between us have enough lotions, potions, pills, creams, gels, natural remedies, herbal extracts, straps, wraps, heat pads, and supports to cure the vast majority of illnesses and to at least attempt a treatment on dozens of others.
We look forward to using none of them.
