IAATO indicate that more than 100 different nationalities were represented by tourists who visited the Antarctica during the 2015-16 season. Four IAATO operators conducted commercial deep field tourism activities during the 2015-16 season, employed experienced guides; over 80% of which have worked previously in Antarctica. Staff and guides assist in the preparation of policies and guidelines, and ensure their implementation in the field. Ship-based tourism is expected to again include the operation

Mysteries of Antarctica On February 7, 2012 Russian scientist discovered a “golden-like swastika” in an Arctic ancient lake that hasn’t been touched, in what they believe, 20 million years. As the old conspiracies of German activity in the South Pole returns, with a vengeance, citizens spark fear across the country of Russia. Little is known about the vast frozen tundra that resides in the far south, for Antarctica is a place of mystery and wonder. Prior to World War II German scientists were obsessed

Many people have different views about preserving Antarctica. Some people may view Antarctica as a scared environment and that it should not be destroyed by destructive human greed as the author states in “The Last Wilderness Preserve.” Others may view Antarctica as a wonderland that is the key to all the questions many ask about this world. The author’s claim in “A New Land of Opportunity.” However you feel about the topic it is clear that the author in”The Last Wilderness Preserve” supports his

Sir Ernest Shackleton was a courageous and bold man; here are a few things about him. He knew all about the weather in Antarctica. Also, he was the first one ever to come into a 100-mile radius of Antarctica. He was as famous as famous could be, and was a hero to thousands who read his book “Furthest South” expedition. He was also the leader of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, and before he set out on the Endurance he had already been to the Antarctic twice. There was a race to the South

Challenges faced by Shackleton’s team compared to Worsley. There is just one continent that supports no permanent inhabitants: Antarctica. There is minimal vegetation or animal matter for food, and with temperatures regularly down to −70°C accompanied by strong katabatic (downslope) winds, the interior of the Antarctic is as inhospitable to human living as are the heights of Everest (Halsey, Stroud 2012) Henry Worsley failed his attempt at a solo trans-Antarctic crossing commemorating 100 years

Unit 1 Argumentative Essay Imagine that you were all alone in Antarctica. Your best friend, and at the time your only friend, just died.

Ethics/SCI362 February 24, 2012 Instructor: Brandy Schroeder Case-In-Point Analysis Antarctica is certainly the most pristine environment left on the earth. Unfortunately this is no longer the case because of multiple human activities that have led to environmental issues and concerns such as pollution, ozone layer thinning, global warming etc. Human impact is a serious threat to ecosystem and food chain of Antarctica. In the last few decades, various marine species of Antarctic ecosystem have been

In Antarctica, the weather conditions are extremely unfavorable to most organisms. The organisms that live there have adapted not only to survive the subzero temperatures, but have also adapted to successfully reproduce and have healthy offspring. Two fascinating Antarctic species are the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) and the adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae). These two species, although almost neighbors, have developed different mating rituals and methods of egg care. The emperor penguin

Pine island Glacier is an enormous stream of ice flowing west-northwest along the south of Hudson mountains into the Amundsen Sea in Antarctica. This ice sheet is the largest chunk of ice on planet Earth having a volume of a water equivalent to 57m of the global sea level. Hence, this basin has the largest net contribution of ice to the sea in the world. In the past few decades, the pine island glacier has been melting at an irreversible rate. Studies show that the ground line of the glacier has
