About

AntarcticSurplus.com is run by former United States Antarctic Program participants from the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. We have experienced firsthand how important having the highest quality gear is in the coldest, most severe conditions in the world – where your gear is all that stands between you and the elements.

The parkas and equipment sold on this website have been acquired from the United States Antarctic Program as surplus, and were made available for purchase for the first time ever in 2017.

Since, we have acquired and sold not only parkas and cold weather gear, but memorabilia, uniforms, and other fascinating souvenirs/memorabilia sold as surplus.  The cold-weather parkas on this website have been professionally refurbished and are ready to wear!

This gear has served us and hundreds of other American scientists well at the bottom of the world, and we want to ensure it has a new life keeping you warm, wherever you may be.
