This is true. My husband and I were thinking of doing the boat tour for our 25th wedding anniversary so I researched it. There's so many rules and regulations. Basically you pay them a shitload of money and then only go where you are told to go. It sounds like you spend almost the entire journey on the boat.
They let you go to a symbolic "south pole" that's set up for tourism, but you can't like charter a boat on your own and just walk around antarctica. Flight routes also avoid going over it to the point of adding many miles to the flight. Planes go over the north pole, no commercial flights go over antarctica.
Would my idea actually work in real life?
