ABSTRACT

Antarctica's unique natural landscape is created by its own inherent resource environment and climate characteristics. With the progress of science and technology, the improvement of people's material living standard and the optimisation of transportation means, Antarctic tourism is developing in full swing, and more and more travel enthusiasts are going to Antarctica to explore the mysterious natural scenery. While Antarctic tourism brings great benefits to the economic development of Antarctica, it faces serious environmental damage problems, and the rise of Antarctic tourism and its fragile ecological environment will inevitably produce many contradictions. Therefore, the protection of Antarctic ecological environment has become an important international issue. Analysing the Antarctic ecological environment problems caused by Antarctic tourism, sorting out the current legislative status of Antarctic tourism environmental protection, analysing the problems existing in the legal regulation of Antarctic tourism environmental protection, and actively improving the relevant legal regulation are of great practical significance for promoting the sustainable development of Antarctic tourism.
