For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

When our inner beings, our unique individuality, is on display, we contaminate by making it the public image we want others to recognize; we are selling our inner essence to the public.

In this state we can work on our inner being, grow it and develop it. We contract our essence, and we use it to see but not to be seen. Fashion is an expression of individuality; uniform expresses our roles in society but reveals nothing of our individuality. Source Sheet…
