The possibility of tourist cruises to the Antarctic was mooted by Mr. A. Leigh Hunt at last night's meeting of Ihe New Zealand Antarctic Society. ■’Tourists already Visit praetieally every part of the world,” ho said, “and if is only reasonable to suppose that as time goes on they will visit the Antarctic, too. I only hope that it will happen in our time, and that I shall be alive to ship as a passenger on such a cruise.”
