About this listen

 Punta Arenas is an Antarctic Gateway city. It has trapped the likes of Shackleton, Henry Worsley and other polar explorers - but, more recently, 2000 cruise passengers were stuck here at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Amongst them was NZ Herald travel writer Thomas Bywater, who used the time to reflect on Antarctica's rapid move into a tourist destination.
