It's hard to dress warmly in a cold place, but you can do it in a dress, wig and makeup. When drag queens descended on the White Continent, they planted a flag for the LGBTQ community.

The event was the culmination of the first-ever all- lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer expedition cruise to the South Pole.

You might wonder what a kaboodle of drag queens is. The passengers came up with a new word to describe the group of performers because there wasn't a specific word to describe them.

"Because there's no official term for a group of drag queens, we had a meeting with all of them and they came up with a bunch of different terms," Patrick said. Both 'kaboodle' and'stiletto' were the two final choices. It was decided that 'kaboodle' was the final choice.

The word is usually spelled with a C and means "everything," "all of it" or "the whole shebang." It's the brand name for a popular line of makeup cases from the '90s and I challenge anyone to come up with a more fitting description.

A group of cruise passengers hikes to plant a flag during the first all-LGBTQ+ expedition sailing to Antarctica. VACAYA

When it came to talking about the experience of visiting with like-minded travelers, some of the other passengers didn't have much to say.

The passenger said that words don't do justice. Being a part of the historic expedition with my family is beyond my imagination.

The captain of Le Boreal said the same thing.

Richard had the opportunity to have her husband with her on the expedition. Even though I'm in a front page role, I was able to kiss him in front of everyone.

The LGBT+ community has left their mark on the 7th continent after 200 years of exploration. The significance of this voyage is just starting to sink in with the men, women and non-binary explorers who joined Vacaya on this first-of-its-kind expedition." Their adventure with us will be a story of discovery, friendship and LGBT+ history that they will be able to share for the rest of their lives.
