Kate Upton, who is married to San Francisco Giants pitcher Justin Verlander, shared her experience from a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot in Antarctica in 2013. Upton is a renowned model who gained prominence after appearing on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2011.
In a 2013 interview with CBS News, Upton discussed her second Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue cover shoot.
“It took two days to get down there and we were on the ship for six days. To say it was an adventure was a complete understatement. I was in a bikini, which I don't recommend to anybody. But it was the most beautiful place I've ever been.”

In the freezing cold of Antarctica, Kate Upton took part in a photoshoot while wearing a white bikini paired with white shoes. She also shared how she managed to complete the shoot.
“I could really only do it for a minute and then everyone would come running and throw blankets on top of me and they would build me like a little blanket cave.” (via Today)
Upton is married to nine-time All-Star Justin Verlander.
Justin Verlander's wife Kate Upton discusses aftereffects of her Antarctica photoshoot
Back in 2013, Kate Upton wasn’t expecting her Sports Illustrated shoot to take place in Antarctica. She spoke with Today about her shock and the physical toll the shoot took on her body.
“I was very surprised by the news that that’s where my shoot was going to be located," Upton said. "It was freezing. I’m from Florida, so it wasn’t great for me. When I came back I was losing hearing and eyesight because my body was shutting down, it was working so hard to keep warm. I was thinking warm thoughts."
Upton also appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues in 2017 and 2024.
