An isolated hot spot!



Do you really love to visit isolated hot spots? Well, read further my friend...

"An isolated Australian outpost in remote Antarctica has become a popular destination for adventure-seeking tourists, as more tour operators put it on their itinerary for more than just researchers.

The 97-year-old Mawson's Hut, in Cape Denison at Commonwealth Bay, was home to Sir Douglas Mawson and his men during the 1911-14 Australasian Antarctic Expedition.

It had more than 300 visitors in December — a record number — with another 100 expected on the last ship that arrives around January 23."
