20 million pairs of breeding penguins or 40 million penguins. Look at some pictures of the Antarctica, you can really tell how clean it is compared to the rest of the world where people live.

Antarctica is not a Tourist attraction in my view, PFC David Foster ... I say leave it to the Scientists and Engineers and let the Penguins and other native species have it all to themselves!!! Leave it as unspoiled by humans as possible!

I agree, living in this cold part of the world, I have no intention of seeing anything colder

Antarctic tourism is really a niche for the rich. A cruise boat dumping passengers on some rocks isn't real tourism. That said, the costs are high and much higher when something goes wrong. Permission to come to McMurdo was invariably denied because it'd risk my life to do a SAR. Still there were those who just came with some getting into trouble. There is better clothing, navigation, communication, and transportation than I had back in the day. That doesn't make it inherently safe. Most of the far SARs I had to do related to the clueless, the amateurs, and the pros who made just one wrong assumption.

As long as it is not done like they do on Everest and the money stays there to promote a safely kept Antarctica.

SrA John Monette -Exactly. Although, I do think they took a couple off last year.
