Visiting Antarctica is heavily restricted for several important reasons. First and foremost, it's to protect the delicate and unique ecosystem that exists there. Human presence can disturb wildlife and flora that are not accustomed to outside interference. Antarctica's extreme environment poses significant risks to unprepared visitors, such as harsh weather conditions, freezing temperatures, and treacherous terrain. The continent is also considered a scientific preserve, and strict regulations are in place to maintain the integrity of ongoing research and prevent contamination. Overall, limiting access helps preserve this pristine environment and ensures that scientific exploration can continue without undue disruption. Learn more about your ad choices.
