Antarctica
105000 tourists visited Antarctica in 2022, an increase of 40% compared to 2020. There are 3 main runways in Antarctica: the famous Ice runway at McMurdo Station (USA), the Williams field (USA) and the Wilkins runway (Australia). You can add Paulus Skiway, Novo Airbase, Casey Station Skiway, Phoenix Airfield, Rothera Point Airport, Teniente Marsh Airport (the last two are on the Antarctic Peninsula operated by Argentina and Chile). Charter flights are organized from Chile (Punta Arenas), New Zealand and South Africa. Just need to book your trip through a tour operator. For alpinists who want to add to their list the successful climbs of the highest mountains on each continent several operators organize your ascent for more or less US$50K with flight to the Union Glacier (Ilyushin Il-76 Cargo) then to the Vinson base camp with a DH Twin Otter on skis (1 hour flight) then the climb of Mt. Vinson. Antartica is not what it used to be, cost of the trips is what limits the number of visitors (8 days cruise through the Drake Passage and fly back to Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales roughly US$14K; only requirement tour operators need to make sure no garbage is left behind, medical assistance is available on cruise ships in order to avoid expensive evacuation and visitors do not stress the local wild life. Now flights to the South Pole are available in December and January from Cape Town or Punta Arenas. Price from US$63K to US$105K. Number of visitors are restricted to 500 due to limited accommodations. -

"Interestingly, the polls show that younger voters (say 18-38) are very open to a nuclear future." None of them were around when Chernobyl and Three Mile Island were dominating World Headlines. -
