I cannot go to antarctica, and if I could I would only be allowed to go to the scientific/military bases. A cruise is not exploring antarctica. OTOH, I can go to Canada - I could explore the forests there, travel up rivers, etc. Or, even try to over-winter there, if I wanted. Whether that would be wise to try or not - I cannot even consider this for antarctica. It is out of bounds. > The treaty set aside Antarctica as a scientific preserve and established freedom of scientific investigation and environmental protection. In yet another triumph of doublethink, it says "freedom of scientific investigation and environmental protection" which means that people are not allowed there.
