Hello :-)
As /u/sflamel wrote -> For hand-held, <=10x magnification is recommended.
20x isn't overly high, so you can probably get away with any camera tripod.
Another alternative could be a mono-pod. 12345. Monopods are better for lower magnifications though; Also see this forum topic.
The deluxe solution is THIS of course ;-)

In the summer, when the ground isn't cold, you can also lay down and just rest them against your head.
With these binoculars you'll going to be able to see the Gallilean moon's of Jupiter, Saturn will be a bit elongated 'dot', and of course many star clusters and a bunch of nebulae and galaxies will be visible as faint glow.
Have fun!

Amazon. 13 bucks, lightweight hollow collapsible camera pole:

Sure, you can use any telescoping type pole you can find as long as it's hollow. According to my Amazon history it was This Unit The only reason I used it was because I had it and had accidentally broken it.
Edit: It looks like the 24" models use this style system already. I wouldn't think miraclegro would spend the time and effort engineering something different just for them. This will most likely work just the same way, but I have no definitive proof/experience with them so try at your own risk.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FAYL1YU?pc_redir=1404711563&amp;robot_redir=1 it's cheap and durable! I bought this right before the X games 2014 and came in handy. Got some sweet shots, btw it extends to 67's!
Yeah, so I hold the small boom in my left hand and camera in the right. The boom has a speedlight and a roundflash disc modifier. I dont extend the boom, so its only maybe 12" long when I am using it most of the time. I hold it up high and slightly off axis. I dont think I have any photos of me using it.
If you're broke (which as a highschool-freshman, you likely are) buy a super cheap monopod and a super cheap ball head. Sometimes I'll even put a small monopod onto my shoulder-rig and stick the bottom into my pocket. It adds another point of contact.
I'd get a 6x1 1/2" pipe nipple and a 1 1/2" floor flange, bolt the flange to your 'yak wherever it'll be most handy, screw the nipple into it and slide a cheap monopod into the nipple. The scope will screw onto the monopod and the monopod will allow you to adjust the height of the scope.

If budget isn't an issue I would get a Canon 5D Mark III and a long zoom lens like this. I'd also get a monopod so your super zoomed in shots don't get all blurry.
One of the main drawbacks of that lens is it has a high f-stop, which means it can be a little dark. But I figure summer in antartica is going to be very bright ~24 hours a day so I wouldn't worry about that. Also with lot's of snow bouncing light everywhere you should be fine.
If that is too much money. You can easily downgrade to a Canon 6D, a used 5D mark ii, or even a Canon rebel t3i. All of these cameras have video functionality which are very nice.
Also, lots of extra batteries because cold temps kill them.
