Once completely inaccessible,Antarctica has more recently been playing host to adventurers seeking excitement,scientists interested in experimenting,and companies looking to exploit this wild terrain for profit: gold,uranium,and oil are just some of the valuable resources which lie beneath the continent's icy covering.
Though no human population is native to Antarctica,about 1,000 people work there in the summer months,and another 12,000 tourists visit there every year.They come to enjoy the unspoiled environment,the bright blue skies,and the fresh white snow fields.
