How can I travel to the South Pole or the North Pole?

Just sign up for a tour group. Antarctic tourism began around the 1960s. At present, the number of Antarctic tourists has increased from several hundred to more than 50,000 per year. 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 under the framework of the Antarctic Treaty, and has become the key topic of the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting. When landing in the Antarctic, the ship will constantly reiterate the environmental protection requirements to tourists before disembarking. For example, before going to the island, tourists must wear the high boots provided by the ship and soak them in the disinfection pool; The clothes of tourists will be carefully inspected on board, and the seeds or sundries that may be carried will be sucked up with a vacuum cleaner to ensure that they will not be left in the South Pole; Visitors must keep a distance of 5 meters from penguins when watching them. Security is another important issue. To ensure the safety of tourism, tourism companies should be responsible and tourists should cooperate. At present, IAATO plans the tour route according to the polar experience and real-time meteorological conditions, but the harsh climate and unpredictable meteorological changes in the Antarctic continent bring some risks and variables to the trip. Generally speaking, the first group activity that tourists take part in after boarding from ushuaia is the emergency evacuation drill. After arriving at the South Pole, you must strictly abide by the rules and follow the team leader to take the corresponding planned safety route. If you are forced to give up your trip due to extreme weather, you should also cooperate on the principle of safety first. The influence of tourism on Antarctic scientific research activities has attracted more and more attention. The window period of Antarctic expedition and Antarctic tourism is in Antarctic summer. For the convenience of tourists from China, the Great Wall Station has specially designated a prescribed route as a visiting area. In summer, the Great Wall Station can receive up to three groups of China tourists every day, with one or two hundred people in each group. "Without affecting the normal scientific research, the scientific research station will try its best to meet the wishes of tourists, but the scientific research station is not a tourist facility after all. If there are redundant and excessive reception tasks, it will distract the attention of researchers. I hope that China tourists can understand. " Chen Danhong, deputy inspector of the Polar Investigation Office of the State Oceanic Administration, said that some domestic tourism companies took visiting the Great Wall Scientific Research Station in China as the selling point of Antarctic tourism, which raised the price and misled tourists to some extent. 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. China has also established a management system for Antarctic expedition activities, which has laid a foundation for environmental management of Antarctic tourism and other activities.
