I'd love to visit antartica which is why I won't, it won't survive humans
Thank you
It's clear that Antarctic tourism is a completely unsustainable proposition. But I'm regularly surprised by how few people imagine that they personally are implicated when they take part in any given practice that is unsustainable at scale. It's as if people see their actions as happening in a vacuum.
I once met an Antarctic tourist. I admit that I listened with interest to their breathless story of glass-clear water and whales you can touch and so on. But I also felt a bit of disgust too.

But that's nearly everything we do, from dog ownership, through car ownership, flying, using AC etal

I feel the same way when people extol me with tales of their holiday destinations around the world when they fly, or even dog ownership
Back on topic, I long wanted to go to Antarctic, my sisters been but I am sure I could not live with the self loathing.
dog ownership dog ownership
This sure sounds like your bugbear! It's because they eat lots of meat? What if (devil's advocate) the dog were owned in replacement of a child?
