Polar tourism and environment change: opportunity, impact and adaptation

The Polar Regions (PRs) are characterized by ice sheets, sea ice, glaciers, tundra, and other cryospheric landscapes and associated aboriginal cultural features. This primitive polar landscape is a huge contrast to the current human living environment and is a strong tourist attraction. Rapid enviro...
