Sanctimonious pricks. What happened to cheering on the spirit of adventure? Sailors, often solo sailors, have frequently been dismasted or capsized in the Southern Ocean, and they have always been provided every available help within reason to get them repaired and on their way. What's the difference here? This is a one time deal by a guy who's flown around the world 3 times in his own small plane. It's not like he was bringing in 20 mangy eco-tourists on a paid tour.

"And we can make arrangements to ship his plane out at his cost," Mr Sanson said.

Hmmm. They ought to just sell him some fuel. He's paying either way right? Sell him some fuel, he flies his plane out and he's outta their hair.

Awwww. Did the rich little bratty pilot fail to bring enough fuel?

Antarctica has become nothing more than "bragging rights" for a select kind of well-heeled tourist.
