Upton said – “It was freezing. I had frostbite when I came back. I was worried about my body,” she said in an appearance on the “Today” show. “My body was shutting down because it was working so hard to keep me warm.”
It wasn’t just the long hours – Kate Upton boldly went where few models have gone before – to Antarctica, where she endured the coldest temperatures on earth.
Upton remembers being wrapped up in blankets every few minutes due to the frigid temperatures.
Kate Upton said she was “very, very sick. I don’t think you can go to Antarctica and stand in a bikini without that happening. But I didn’t die, and I’m OK now.”
“We should name a passageway after her down there,” said M.J. Day, an editor for the magazine. “She braved six days in a bikini while we were head-to-toe in jackets … No one will ever accuse her of being a whiny model, ever.”
This year’s shoot sported models in on all continents, and cover girl Kate Upton was their selection for Antarctica.
“It was freezing,” she said. “I’m from Florida, so it wasn’t easy for me.”
Needless to say, scores of men around the world appreciate her sacrifice.
