This deficiency is especially apparent with regard to a more and more increasing human footprint caused, among others, by a growing number of tourists visiting the region and conducting a broad variety of activities. On the basis of a detailed study of three Arctic wilderness areas - the Hammastunturi Wilderness Reserve (Finland), the Archipelago of Svalbard (Norway) and the Denali National Park and Preserve (Alaska, United States) - as well as the relevant policies and legislation in these countries, Antje Neumann identifies numerous 'lessons learnt' that can serve as suggestions for improving the protection of wilderness in Antarctica"-- Provided by publisher Notes Based on author's thesis (doctoral)--Tiburg University, 2019 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Wilderness areas -- Law and legislation -- Arctic regions Tourism -- Law and legislation -- Arctic regions Wilderness areas -- Law and legislation -- Antarctica Tourism -- Law and legislation -- Antarctica Wilderness areas -- Law and legislation -- Alaska -- Denali National Park and Preserve Wilderness areas -- Law and legislation -- Norway -- Svalbard Wilderness areas -- Law and legislation -- Finland -- Lapin lääni Tourism -- Law and legislation Wilderness areas -- Law and legislation Alaska -- Denali National Park and Preserve Antarctica Arctic Regions Finland -- Lapin lääni Svalbard Form Electronic book LC no. 2020000534 ISBN 9004416072 9789004416079
