It has been written that all visitors to Antarctica are 'tourists' in the sense that going there is a personal adventure to a new and unknown geography.

Commercial tourism to Antarctica began in the 1960s, and was accomplished by sea-going vessels. It continues to be the most popular way for tourists to visit Antarctica.
