The first successful trip to the south pole (and back) was made by Roald Amundsen. He and his team wore anorak's (or parkas) which is not only good for keeping warm, but also keeps the cold winds from reaching your skin. Although it is common knowledge that wool is good for keeping you warm, this material is way to light, and give very limited protection against heavy winds.

Anoraks are heavy clothing made by fur, which also were used by Inuits.
