Actually, it wasn't so much the brand as comparing the little silica synthetic packets (30 of them) vs the silica packets that are in metal tins (1 of them for the same price). Both are reuseable, but the metal tins last longer. It's not a price comparison that I am after, just if one works better/more convienent or it's just personal preference.
I wouldn't try to dry out a metal tin in the microwave.

Put the camera in a sealable plastic bag . get as much air out of it as possible then seal it Let it warm up on its own. will solve all problems ...

How fun, who are you going with. That is a bucket list trip!
I use lightweight dry bags, the ones that are nylon like. Double duty keeping dry, then squeeze air out and roll shut till they warm up. As mentioned, take battery and memory card out first!

There is almost no humidity in Antarctica so condensation is not an issue.

We were in Antarctica in 2019 December on the Nat Geo Explorer. I don't recall any problem with cameras or glasses fogging up. The inside of the ship was not very humid. But silica gel sounds like a good idea. BTW

I looked at some of your photos, are all the rooms that big? We are doing a cruise up and down Norway and I think I will be able to touch each side of the room at the same time!
