What are the physical requirements for traveling in Antarctica?

Rules and Discipline

Every additional tourist increases human impact on the natural environment of Antarctica. Therefore, in order to protect this pure land, all tourists must comply with certain requirements.

The wild animals in Antarctica are not afraid of people, and penguins will even go within reach. However, in Antarctica, the rules of not chasing, not touching, and not feeding wild animals must be strictly followed.

Don’t bring rocks from Antarctica. Many people have the habit of collecting stones from their travel destinations as souvenirs, but please don’t do this in Antarctica. Most of the Antarctic continent is covered with ice and snow, and there is not much exposed stone ground, especially gravel, which is an essential material for penguins and other Antarctic birds to build nests. Although there are not many tourists in Antarctica, if each person takes away one piece and collect them together, it will have a negative impact on the ecological environment.
