Increasing every year, 15000 tourists visited Antarctica in 2004. The various international bases total a population, only temporary scientific staff, of about 5000 in summer and 1200 in winter. Since the commercial world is expanding and the explorerers world is shrinking, i'm sure quite some of us will be visiting this white continent sometime soon?
