Antarctic is one of the popular international tourist destinations. This paper analyses the situation of Antarctic tourism by literature review. This paper argues that the number of Antarctic tourists is increasing, and its main attractions are wildlife, unique landscape and photography demand. The development of Antarctic tourism brings a key positive impact: makes tourists become the image ambassadors of Antarctic; a key negative impact: damages the ecological environment. Moreover, this paper believes that the two main development problems facing the development of Antarctic tourism are pollution control and management. The two main policy problems are: policy confusion and poor implementation.
