Thus, this is currently one of the best monitored small glacier (<0.5 km2) worldwide.
An improved understanding of natural hazards is essential to the sustainability of the industry, given the importance of glacier-related tourism in the local and regional economies.
Thus, glacier foreland offer ample ecological questions and further research is highly recommended.
We suggest that this inner part of the Mertz Glacier polynya has a very high ice-production rate.
Analysis of the glacier structural evolution based on the numbers and the locations of different structures, suggest a slowdown of glacier flow on the eastern tongue.
These results show that the sustainability of glacial tourism and destinations is threatened by large-scale tourism activities.
The literature review demonstrates the need for additional research into several issues, including: (1) designing a coherent conceptual framework that incorporates the main elements of glacier tourism; (2) examining the motives, preferences, experiences and behaviours of glacier tourists, as well as of the motivational push and pull factors of glacier tourism; and (3) conducting cross-area or sub-sector comparative analyses of existing or potential climate-induced impacts on glacier tourism or adaptation strategies and measures.
