Should there be tourism in Antarctica?


Affirmative
It is reasonable believe that there should be tourism in Antarctica so that people can have wonderful memories of a unique conitinent because people want to see the beautiful landmarks of Antarctica and experience the wonderful wildlife in Antarctica.

Negative
Many people are under the impression that there should not be tourism in Antarctica because the vehicles create pollution that can pollut the air and can damage the natural habitats of wildlife because the burning fumes in the truck create Co2 that polluts the air and when the animals breathe the it they can die from it.
