In Antarctica, the problem wasn't taking the camera outside, it was bringing
it inside. I could take it outside, take great pictures, no foggin, all
great. Bring it inside and it fogged over for an hour or two. I was
generally using an OM-1n, and the mercury battery never faltered. I just
left it outside in the cold porch, or brought it in after 3-4 hours in the
cold porch.
The 2SP failed a lot because of batteries. Recently someone described a
battery rig to keep the batteries in your shirt and power the 2SP, 3, 4
series cameras. This would be a good item to have for your trip.
