A good "call" against Antarctic tourism...

Clinton calls for stricter Antarctic tourism limits


Between the decrease in "The Ice" and the potential problems of people visiting it, I think this call against Antarctic tourism is a good one.

Having watched some of the preparations the military go through before making the trip south from Christchurch, NZ, I can not see the average traveler as ever being "prepared" in case of emergency.

I also don't want to see McDonald's and Starbucks there either...they've taken over enough of the planet already...
