Colleagues, we are preparing an expedition to Yamal peninsula, Northern Russia, in November-December 2006. This is an Arctic region with very low temperatures that freeze the shutter and kill batteries. Having in mind that there will be no electricity at all and hence no possibility to recharge batteries, digital photography is out of question. Can anybody advice on what camera and additional equipment that should be purchased for the expedition?
