Forbes magazine, December 14, 1998, page 294, has a page on "The last tourist at the end of the earth"--a story about how more and more are driving up to the end of the road at Deadhorse, Alaska. Interesting part: "It's an antipodean thing: Many of these tourists then head for the lower tip of Chile or other points south for the mirror-image experience looking up, as it were. Nothing much to see but you can say you've been." So...halfway 'twixt Inuvik and Caravana PanAmerica, busers have already been pigeonholed by the media. ;-) Richard A.
