Это я содрал из проекта по наблюдению за китами в этом районе:
Please take weather conditions into consideration when packing for your expedition. Climate
information can be found in Section 11 ‘Project Conditions.’ Be prepared to dress in layers to
accommodate changes in the weather. You should bring warm outer clothing and good rain gear
to stay comfortable in windy and wet conditions. Polyester fleece and thermal fabrics have good
wicking qualities, are warm, and dry out rapidly – these are a good idea in an environment where
the climatic conditions are highly varied. Heavy cotton fabrics (e.g. jeans) should be avoided, as
they are slow to dry and cold when wet. Several layers of thin clothes are preferable to one thick
layer. There are no facilities for washing clothes at Xusela, but there is a very expensive
laundromat at Dawson’s Landing, and cheaper ones in Port Hardy.

Essential Items
Make sure to bring your Earthwatch Expedition Briefing with you! It includes important
information to which you may need to refer during your expedition, as well as during your
journey to and from the rendezvous site. There are a few other items that are absolutely essential:
a sleeping bag, rubber boots, HIGH QUALITY RAIN CLOTHES (when it rains, it really rains!)
and a flashlight. Note that the site has rubber boots in a variety of sizes and you can borrow a
pair if you don’t have your own. In general, pack for living outdoors in all kinds of weather.
Please see the Expedition Packing Checklist for a complete list of what you will need to take
with you. You are encouraged to go through the list and mark off each required item right before
you leave for your expedition.
