I forgot to mention that. If you are going into a hut, leave the camera in
the cold porch. It will take hours for the condensation to evapourate. Going
from inside to outside is OK, just give it a minute.
To stop the condensation, put all your gear in a plastic bag, suck the air
out of it and seal it. When you bring it inside it will warm up without
condensation. After it is at room temp, take it out of the bag.

I've heard of problems of condensation when going from warm to cold and
back. Expansion and contraction may also be a problem at those extreme
temperature swings.
