what about antarctica mountain Practical Traveler Is Antarctica Getting Too Popular?
http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/03/22/travel/22pracantarctic.html LAST month, on its next-to-last day of a 15-day Antarctic tour, the Ocean Nova, carrying 65 passengers and a crew of 41, ran aground in Antarctica and was stalled for more than a day. Damage was minor (some flaking paint and dents to the hull), and all passengers on the cruise, run by Connecticut-based Quark Expeditions, were safely transferred to another ship. But the incident, the fourth maritime accident in three years involving excursion vessels in Antarctica, is raising concerns about the dangers of fast-growing tourism in the region. The number of tourists visiting Antarctica has more than quadrupled in the last decade, growing to 45,213 in the 2007-2008 season, according to the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators. More than 30,000 of those visitors arrived in small ships and set foot ashore, up from 9,85
The three largest mountain ranges on the Antarctic continent are the Transantarctic Mountains, the West Antarctica Ranges, and the East Antarctica Ranges. The Transantarctic Mountains (abbreviated TAM) compose a mountain range in Antarctica which extend, with some interruptions, across the continent from Cape Adare in northern Victoria Land to Coats Land. These mountains serve as the division between East Antarctica and West Antarctica. They include a number of separately named mountain groups, which are often again subdivided into smaller ranges.
