| Abstract: | This paper discusses narratives of polar adventure tourism from a multidisciplinary perspective of play. Revieweing discussions on the motivation behind this subject, it examines two concurrent approaches in particular: risk and insight theories. Based on empirical evidence obtained from a winter trekking trip to an Arctic tourism destination, the paper argues that these theories may be particular components of adult play. |
