Tourists visit Antarctica under a different set of guidelines from the guidelines for scientists and those who work in support of science who travel to Antarctica.

People who work in Antarctica work for their governments in pursuit of science. Governments issue special extreme cold weather clothing and use equipment designed to withstand the extreme low temperatures in Antarctica. Governments provide housing and food to these workers.

It is not legal for governments to use their funds to clothe, feed or house tourists.

Tourists are useful in the preservation of Antarctica when the pick up their litter, trash and leave zero evidence behind that they have visited the land -- or ice.
