For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Who is Mother’s Day Really For? 24:43

Mother's Day has become an annual battlefield. Is it meant to celebrate young moms in the trenches? Should grandmothers take precedence?

Moms and grandmothers sound off" "Does Mother’s Day Really Have to Be Grandmother’s Day, Too?" "Dear Husbands: Mother's Day is Not About Your Mom"…
