Following on from my rant the other day about Antarctic Cruises, here's a story about how smoke particles from the Grampians bushfire were detected in Antarctica.

The article ends by talking about Antarctic tourism and scientists estimate that each visitor is responsible for 83 tonnes of snowmelt. "Last season there were 122,000 tourist visitors to Antarctica, a figure that has tripled in the last decade".
