Should There be Tourism in Antarctica
Negative
We strongly believe that tourism is not good for antarctica because vehicles causes
pollution that damages the natural habbitat of wildlife.
It is true to say that tourism is causing vehicles to drive across the ice and
that results in icebergs braking.

Many people agree that when you visit antarctica, you wold experience wonderful
wildlife and get to see the icebergs and how other wildlife
The general perception is that when you visit Antarctica you will be aware and
informed about the issues that Antarctica have, and had been experienced.
Shackleton
I believe Shackleton was an amazing man and he completed a great journey through Antarctica.
Many people should look up to him because he had followed his dream and completed it.
Good job group 6!!! I have learnt alot of information from your wiki page. I have learnt that Antarctica is home to a mass variety of fauna and flora, lots of wonderful landmarks within the country, whether or not there should be tourism in Antarctica and that you and I believe that Ernest shackleton is a both an amazing person and explorer. It is really great!!!
Because it is to cold for human beings to live
Only some animals can live there eg seals, penguins.
Because of the extreme weather conditions like blizzards.
Because you couldnt build any houses on the ice.
There is no electricity there.
There is no sewage.
The weather is very cold. It is one of the coldest places on earth and it is too cold for humans to live there.
The only sort of animal that can live there is a penguin.
It is so cold and the ground is ice, there are no places for plants to grow in the Antarctica.
Humans can not live because there is no food source.
