“Argentinean Environment Secretary Romina Picolotti called Tuesday for a limit on Antarctic tourism following the sinking of a Canadian-operated cruise vessel off the Shetland Islands. M/S Explorer hit an iceberg before midnight of Friday, all of its 154 passengers and crew were evacuated. She told Argentinean news agency Telam, ‘The purpose of the Antarctic is not tourism. Nations must make a greater effort to impose stricter controls.’ She pushed for reducing the number of ice tourists which had doubled over the recent years. The sunken cruise ship spilled fuel covering three miles in diameter and five miles depth.” (11/27/07)
