It would be wonderful if heaps of young people could see Antarctica, how wild and remarkable it is," says University of Auckland professor Maj De Poorter, an Antarctic environmental advocate and adviser to the World Conservation Union. De Poorter says such new "ambassadors" could work to preserve Antarctica's environment. But she adds that she would hope that such trips would be seen as something outside of convential tourism. "It would be sad if (going to Antarctica) was just another tick in the box. If it's not going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it would be better not to go. According to [Julie Benson], Princess's goal is to "avoid ice, not cruise into it," so it sails only at the peak of the summer season when ice floes are at a minimum. In addition to the ship's captain,...

I once felt absolute ambivalence toward Australia and New Zealand. Just couldn't wrap my mind around the size and latitude. And I couldn't deal with trying to cover such vast territories in a matter of weeks. Then the thought of a cruise floated along. I could board a ship in Auckland, cruise New Zealand's North and South Islands, cross the Tasman Sea to Australia, dip into Tasmania, end up in Sydney -- and unpack only once. Our first stop on New Zealand's South Island was Christchurch, where a driver took us high into frosty mountains and along the Avon River. The scenery was delightful, but I was antsy to see the International Antarctic Centre, where scientists depart for eerie, icy journeys. Having recently experienced the White Continent for the first time, I was enamored with New Z...

[...] the northeast U.S. coast, so densely populated with cities such as New York which sits at sea level, would encounter flooding and erosion, and possibly greater damage and loss of life during winter storm surges. Along this stretch lie both the San Francisco and Oakland international airports, 140 schools, 30 power plants, 29 waste water treatment facilities and 3,500 miles of roads.
