Do you need goggles to see in the Antarctic snow?
One uses snow goggles for two reasons. a) in the mountains where there will be increased UV rays, goggles are essential to avoid snow blindness. Believe me you want to avoid it. b) in the Antarctic, it depends on your altitude. The snow glare can be very uncomfortable - it is as if you were looking into the sun! - so you will probably want to wear goggles for this. Even close to sea level. Otherwise as ) above. In 'whiteout' conditions, when it is just like you were inside a ping-pong ball, goggles do interfere with the Very difficult seeing conditions. You may have to proceed without goggles, just to maximize your seeing ability, but the chance of snow blindness is far from zero. Been there.

Do you need ski goggles to snowboard?
Not necessarily. You can wear Sunglasses instead of goggles if you want, but you have to wear something to protect your eyes, or you put yourself at risk of Snow Blindness, since light refracts strongly off snow, and damages your eyes. This is just as true when it's cloudy as when it's sunny. Wearing Goggles instead of Glasses is however recommended in bad weather, mainly for comfort reasons. Note: There's no difference between Ski and Snowboard Goggles.
