A polar research institute in Germany has been accused of sexism after asking scientists and journalists onboard one of its ships to avoid wearing revealing or tight-fitting clothing, such as leggings and crop tops - items primarily worn by women.

Chelsea Harvey was one of the journalists on the mission to the Arctic last September. She says the reason given for the introduction of the dress code was a "safety issue" - apparently there were a lot of men onboard the ship, who had "not seen land for many months".

The Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research who were leading the exhibition said they do not tolerate sexual harassment, misconduct and discrimination. They said the regulations were imposed to ensure people adhered to hygiene and safety standards.

Speaking to Newsday, Chelsea explained her initial reaction to the announcement, which was made two weeks into the voyage.
