The role of weather, water, ice and climate (WWIC) information for Antarctic tourism
The tourism sector in Antarctica has witnessed considerable growth and diversification over the last decade. To help facilitate safe travel in remote and dynamic polar environments more detailed and specialised weather, water, ice and climate (WWIC) information services are required. However, there...
