Thanks to its harsh environment, Antarctica remained largely untouched by humans for many millennia, allowing a thriving ecosystem to evolve. However, since the 1990s, the last true wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for adventure-seeking tourists. Now, a new study asserts that the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria which could devastate the area’s native bird population.

            Look this a simple logical explanation.. (They don't know they are spreading it) There are no records of how rapidly it has been spreading or how it has been passing on to birds.

                    The solution is simple. No tourism in Antarctica, only research.
