SHOULD I GO THERE?

Travel writer Carlos Gomm is planning his next vacation. But should he go there?

don't like vacations with hotels, beaches and swimming pools, and I'm not interested in sightseeing in old cities. I'd like to do something exciting, and nowadays lots of vacations offer

excitement: backpacking over the Andes of South America or safaris in Africa. I could visit Australia and swim with dolphins.

But when I choose a vacation I always have the same problem: I don't want to go somewhere and see lots of other tourists. I want to be the only person there. The problem is that there are other tourists everywhere these days. Is there anywhere in the world without people?

What about Antarctica? It's huge, beautiful continent. Between 1,000 and 5,000 scientists work there, but nobody lives there. There are no cities so there's no pollution or traffic, and ot has got lots of nature and wildlife. It sounds perfect!

SHOULD I GO THERE?

Actually, there are also tourists in Antarctica. Tourism there began in the late 1950a. About 500 people a year visited from Chile and Argentina. Nowadays, about 50,000 tourists from all over the world cruise there every year, and the number is increasing.

So, like everywhere else with tourists, Antarctica is changing. You can't stay overnight, but you can visit wildlife areas. Some people think the numbers of wild animals and birds are decreasing as a result. However, there is also some positive news. Many cruise ships are members of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO). They teach their passengers about Antarctica and its wildlife. The cruise companies also give money to environmental organizations in the region. These organizations want to help the nature and wildlife of Antarctica so it doesn't change in the future. So what should I do? Go to Antarctica, go somewhere else, or stay at home?
