Antarctica

I have visited Antartica twice, once to ski, and once with my wife to just absorb this awe-inspiring place. There is no place quite like Antarctica; the color and light; the scale and vastness; the inimitable wildlife; the way you are rendered humble by the vastness. It is as close to an untouched place you can find on earth, but of course, it has been discovered by the tour companies who every year lay on more and more luxurious ships. I am not one to say "shut the door now that I've been," but we need to be careful how we use and abuse this singular place.
