Why don't scientists let people travel to the South Pole?

More and more tourists go to Antarctica, which will endanger the fragile local environment. Environmental protection is the top priority of Antarctic tourism. The Antarctic ecosystem is extremely fragile. Even an exotic seed may bring subversive damage to the Antarctic and threaten the species pattern. Developing safe and environmentally responsible Antarctic tourism has become the knowledge of human development.

Antarctic tourism has been managed within the framework of the Antarctic Treaty, and has become a key topic in the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting. In addition, according to the environmental protection requirements of the Antarctic treaty system, the International Association of Antarctic Travel Agents has formulated and implemented environmental protection standards for Antarctic tourism, and regularly provided Antarctic tourism reports to Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings.

At present, the restrictions on Antarctic tourism mainly come from the relevant measures and resolutions adopted by the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting and the industry self-discipline led by the International Association of Antarctic Travel Agents. However, the United States, Russia, Norway, France and other countries have adopted domestic legislation to manage their Antarctic activities, including tourism, and restrict the compliance and environmental protection of their citizens' Antarctic activities.

"Legislation is not to punish anyone, but to protect everyone's interests more fairly and justly. If the first tourists destroy the Antarctic environment, the latecomers will never enjoy the same scenery. Restricting tourists and enterprises from the legal level is the long-term protection of tourism resources. " Chen Danhong said.
