That takes the biscuit! Kate Upton braves -35 degree temperatures for photo shoot... and cuddles a man dressed as a cookie

However, as she posed in just a bikini and a pair of snow boots for a photo shoot in the Arctic, she probably felt anything but.
The stunning model wore just the tiny two-piece for a special assignment with a man dressed up as an Oreo cookie.
Icebergs ahead: Kate Upton poses in just a skimpy bikini upon the boat sailing towards Antarctica
Sports Illustrated chartered the boat for a ten day voyage between Argentina and Antarctica.
Apparently, they wanted to photograph 20 year-old Kate for a forthcoming issue of the magazine with a backdrop of icebergs.
Kate was probably more than happy to take part, after all, it was featuring on the cover of the magazine's much-lauded swimsuit edition that Kate first came to public attention earlier this year.
Thar she blows: A gust of ice-cold Antarctic wind blasts Kate's hair, but she does her best not to flinch
All eyes on her: Kate wore a tiny bikini for the icy voyage, which was for a new issue of Sports Illustrated
Rip it off: An assistant, wrapped up against the bitter chill, removes the fur coat Kate has been wearing
Since that now famous issue, which hit newsstands in February, she has become one of America's top rated models.
Furthermore, she has made the tricky leap from swimsuit model to high fashion, appearing on the covers of American and Italian Vogue.
In photographs from the photoshoot, Kate can be seen braving the incredibly cold minus temperatures in just a small white bikini top and tasseled bottoms.
super cold: It is obviously that the boat is sailing through some very bitter winds, judging by the well layered clothes of the crew
Blow them away: Kate looks serene as she has her hair tweaked on the top deck of the Antarctic voyage
Her feet, in thermal moon boots, are just as white as the snow piled up on the deck of the boat.
As she pouts and poses, an army of assistants in multiple layers, gloves, and heavy jackets can be seen taking photos of the tanned blonde, or waiting to hand her a fur shawl.
Eventually, Kate was able to swap the ebb and flow of the Antarctic Sea for the firm ground of Antarctica itself.
Are you warm? Kate clings on to the giant cookie, perhaps hoping he has just come out of the oven, or has taken a dunk in some hot tea

Bizarrely, she was greeted by a man dressed as an Oreo cookie once she stepped on terra firma.
Kate was dressed slightly warmer for her parade through the snow in a white lace crop top and a pair of fur boots.
She also had a white headband over her straightened locks, and a slightly larger pair of bikini bottoms.
Brrrr! Kate hides beneath a fur blanket as she tries to warm up between takes
It is not clear why there was a man dressed as a giant biscuit on the icy uninhabited continent, but he might have been overseeing the delivery of 5,000 Oreo cookies to the scientists based at the Palmer Station in the Antarctic Peninsula
