This thesis is concerned with the impact and the management of tourism in polar environments. A perspective is given on the environmental hazards that may arise from tourist activities in polar regions, through documented examples from the impact on alpine and similar environments in other parts of the world. General management theories for controlling such impact are described and adapted for polar regions. The thes is then describes the current state of tourism and assesses its environmental impact in Greenland and Antarctica and its likely future development there. Finally the present s ta·tus of environmental management as practised in the two studied areas is evaluated. It is concluded that the level of 'tourism and its present environmental impact in Greenland and Antarctica remain minor.
