cool that they captured this, but Antarctic tourism is a environmental travesty. Nothing like a bunch of a rich assholes paying $10-50K for the privileged of dumping their waste and trash and CO2 in such a sensitive area, under the bullshit pretext of 'oh i need to see it before it's gone so I can brag to my grandkids about it!' and always from people who claim to 'care' about climate change... while actively contributing to it... pure hypocrisy.

For some reason this, and going to Everest base camp, have become this big status symbol many ecotourists are chasing.
