The name of the place was Jumping Rental Ski at #128 on 9 de Julio street - a large selection of jackets, boots, waterproof pants, etc. Some Antarctica tours are now providing jackets and boots, so be sure to check the details of your tour before renting gear. Have fun! @Katie: We didn’t rent winter gear from Buenos Aires, but from Ushuaia instead.

It's hard to believe we'll be heading south in a couple of days to start this adventure. We've got some pressure now to take great photos to share you all :) @Craig: Yes, there was a tour option at $3,500 but it didn't go past the polar circle so we chose the longer option that was a bit more. @Erin: The answer to your question about the cost of an Antarctica tour really has a million answers! From what we've seen, a tour (10-11 days) to Antarctica can cost anywhere from $3,500 for a last minute cancellation to $10,000 for a small boat in the high season (Jan/February). The season, size of boat, how far ahead you book the tour and many other factors affect the price. Thanks to all of you for your awesome support and excitement for us!
