The fragile ecosystem is at risk from human activity from "summary" of Antarctica by Tony Soper
Human activity in Antarctica poses a significant threat to the delicate ecosystem that exists in this remote and pristine land. The unique environment of Antarctica is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species that have adapted to survive in harsh conditions.

One of the most significant impacts of human activity in Antarctica is the pollution that is generated by research stations and tourist expeditions. The waste produced by these activities can have a devastating effect on the local wildlife, as well as the delicate balance of the ecosystem as a whole. In addition to pollution, human activity in Antarctica also includes activities such as fishing, mining, and tourism, all of which have the potential to cause irreparable harm to the environment.
