In my flight yesterday, I had come trough this one interesting article from the flight magazines. The title was so meaningful which attract me to read it. (Normal me will just go trough the photo only. Lazy bump).
"Earth's Final Paradise", the title for the article. Basically it tells the story about a trip to the world’s southernmost continent which is icy, desolate piece of land, Antarctica. I just get to know that Antarctica is the largest single mass of ice on earth storing 90% of the planet’s fresh water. Wow. And it is the only continent on Earth that doesn’t have any native human population. Penguins doesn’t count = )
The writer travel on board of a luxury expedition ship which has 2 restaurant, cinema, gym, shops and even library where you can find plenty of books about Antarctica. How nice. I still remember many years back, travelling to Antarctica is like almost impossible. But now, you can simply catch a flight to Invercargill, the southernmost city in New Zealand, where you can join expedition tours to the no man land.
I always dream of going to those places with large icescape, iceberg and SNOW! But in the reality, I was scare of cold. I can’t even get used to my office air-con temperature. = ( .. Wonder can I survive or not if I really step my foot on Antarctica.
But I will still keep it as my dream, who knows, may be one day, I will have a chance to leave my footprints on the Earth’s Final Paradise.

Nuh... when mass tourism comes to Antarctica, you can enjoy the beauty of the ice from a heated cabin inside a ship. No worry about the temperature.
The real issue is whether you have the money or time.
