Antarctica has been in news recently for tourism hazards [1]. The southernmost continent, overlying the South Pole is situated in the southern hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean.

The visual treat [2] that it is often attracts more tourists, leading to a lot of environmental hazards.

A virtual tour is available online [3] for the interested readers.

A nice account of the activities there is available at [4].

Numerous countries have established their research stations [5] in Antarctica.
