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.  ;-)
