In today's world you are able to travel basically anywhere you want, even the most delicate pieces of land. Antarctica is one that is becoming more fragile as the Earth becomes older. There are ways to travel and leave little to no trace to the land you visit. Ecotourism is a way to travel to beautiful destinations without leaving your footprints along the way. 

With ANI (Adventure Network International) they take you on these tours while teaching and practicing the different techniques of sustainable travel. They follow the guidelines to the Antarctic Treaty System (http://www.ats.aq/e/ats.htm), they are members of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators ( 
http://iaato.org/home), and they also are authorized by the US Government to meet the requirements of the Antarctic Treaty. ANI also share their points on how they are using eco-friendly tools to being very successful sustainable travelers.
