> there aren't a lot of people who want to do it. Where do you get that? Tourism is back near pre-bust 40,000, mostly American, a year. The expensive hotel is fully booked 2 of its 4 weeks. With near 40 treaty countries almost no binding changes are agreed, and regular plans to limit numbers remain just that. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30709924 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30709924 https://www.yahoo.com/news/antarctica-concerns-grow-tourism-numbers-rise-053737703.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/antarctica-concerns-grow-tourism-...
