Climate Change Is Making ‘Last Chance Tourism’ More Popular, and Riskier
Yes, warming caused in part by unnecessary and excessive travel, but which is specifically amplified and made so much worse locally by the cruise ships (sorry, "luxury science expeditions" as I've seen them marketed) and the human activity they bring to the land/ice.
Imagine being so selfish that you'd "honour" a place you think is unique in its beauty by directly contributing to its destruction. 🤯
This is capitalist society in a nutshell though, isn't it. "I don't care if anyone else gets to see it, as long as I can still see it."
Well yeah, but that doesn't make it ok (nor logical or natural).
