It will be survival of the fittest with the rope, of course, but it's only temporary. We're having a conventional escape built soon."

London God: This is an awful was the reaction of Captain Robert Scott, the British explorer, when he finally reached the South Pole in January 1912. Since conditions have somewhat improved. So much so that several hundred tourists can now claim to have spent a holiday in Antarctica. Organizing out-of-the-way holidays for the travel-jaded is a growing business in America.

No longer are many Americans content to spend their annual vacation in Mexico or Monte Carlo. They are bored with cruising in the Caribbean. They now look for something more exotic and for the really off-beat holiday, one to boast about to the neighbors when you get back home, there is probably nothing to beat a trip to Antarctica. Getting there these days is not that difficult. It entails a 24- lour plane flight from New York, then a three-day sea trip rom the tiny port of Ushuaia on the southernmost tip of South America.

Of course the presence in Antarctica of the Navy makes the visit a lot less hazardous. The United States, as well as several other nations, has maintained a base in Antarctica since the' International Geophysical Year in 1957. Although some of the American Navy men are said to view the growing influx of tourists with misgivings, they are a reassuring in case someone falls down an ice crevasse, or the tourist ship gets stuck in the ice. What does a tourist do in Antarctica? Take pictures, study the wild-life. These include seals, seabirds and whales.

And of course the penguins. For tourists who are able to include McMurdo Sound in their program there is the unusual sight of an active volcano, Mt. Erebus, trailing plumes of white smoke from the top of its 12,000 feet-high ice cone. It beats Vesuvius or Mt. Etna any day.

"There is a tremendous interest in Antarctica" says a spokesman for Lindbald Travel, a New York agency that specializes in holiday trips to unusual places and pioneered holidays to the Antarctic.
