Antarctica

Why is it important to scientists that the Antarctic be kept pristine? The Antarctic is being ruined in the name of science - the ecological disaster at the U.S. McMurdo Base has left toxic waste, asbestos, tons of rubbish lying in the open, and oil spills on the ice. Why is Antarctica so vital to the planet in controlling weather and temperature, and do the dry valleys contain an awful warning of what could happen to the planet if the ice melts? Antarctica also presents magnificent scenery and footage of Scott's hut at Cape Evans - just as it was 80 years ago.
