Impacts Of Tourism – Antarctica

These worksheets, with the aid of a video, help students to investigate what attracts visitors and tourists to Antarctica and the resulting impacts the rise of visitors in recent years has had on the delicate environment.

To gather an understanding of the icy environment, the students answer questions with help of the video and use images and graphs to investigate the attraction to the area and the possible impacts. The worksheets conclude in asking the students to explain whether they think Antarctica is worth protecting.

A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet, including, gathering research from print and video, annotating maps, their thoughts, and ideas and interpretating graphs.
