DEL.ICIO.USWant to go to Antarctica?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The weather in Antarctica can be surprisingly pleasant during December, says a recent travel article. Temperatures often get above freezing that month, which is summer in the southern hemisphere.
And more and more travelers are heading there. About 26,000 visited in the past year, and the number is increasing yearly.
The increase has led some environmental groups to seek limits on the number of tourists each year.
Does Antarctica appeal to you? Would you go?

Absolutely! I am planning a trip there later in the year. From what I hear it is beautiful. I have been wanting to go there since I visited Iceland a couple of times. Not to get off topic, but if want to see a gorgious country head north to Iceland. It’s one of the best trips I’ve ever taken.
