Casey O'Hara: "This plane carried a group of maybe 20 tourists to the south pole (note the footprints leading away from the plane). The tourists are given a tour, but not allowed to stay in the station (note the tiny building to the right -- that's the bathroom they get to use). They stay for a couple of hours, take photos at the pole markers, then get back on the plane. How much does a person pay for the privilege of being a south pole tourist? Apparently $40,000!" Near the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica.
