    The document summarizes a student's reading journal entry about an article arguing that tourism should be restricted in Antarctica to protect its fragile environment. The student agrees with the author that allowing tourism could unintentionally damage the Antarctic environment and resources in ways that cannot be undone, and that for now it is best to limit tourism until its impacts are better understood to avoid serious long-term consequences. However, the student also expresses a personal desire to visit Antarctica if given the chance in the future.

    Reading Journal #5

    “If we don’t protect Antarctica from tourism, there may be serious consequences for
    us all.” (p.129, North Star 3)

    Based on years of experience as a researcher and guiding tourists in Antarctica, the

    author think it is necessary to close Antarctica to tourist. This is because it is possible

    that tourist destroys the environment of Antarctica even they didn’t mean to do that.

    And it might lead to the result that can’t be undone. I think I can understand and agree

    the opinion of the author. Any resources on Earth are precious, if we don’t try hard

    to protect them, it will lead to serious consequences, lots of animal and landscape

    could disappear. Now is not a good time to let tourist go to Antarctica if they might

    impact the researchers and destroy the environment. However, I would truly love to

    visit Antarctica and see it myself if I have a chance someday.
