Antarctica used to be the final frontier — pristine, remote, and only visited by penguins and people with PhDs. Now? It’s basically the world’s coldest theme park, where tourists in $800 jackets elbow each other for selfies with icebergs. For just $18,000, you too can hop on a ship, belch out five tons of CO2, and maybe leave behind some graffiti for a curious seal to ponder. It’s the ultimate vacation for anyone who’s ever looked at the last untouched place on Earth and thought, “You know what this needs? Souvenir shops.”
