Jon Bowermaster, writer, filmmaker and adventurer, shares his most memorable travel highlights from his global travels.
Antarctica
No one could have ever imagined that one day there would be a tourist shop here, selling T-shirts and maps, fleece jackets and bumper stickers. But today there is, at this renovated former British refuge hut. Roughly half of the 30,000 who visit...
