As much as I like cold, I would have to pick the Tropical Island cause I know my wife would pick that too.

Antarctica, because cold weather is more daring. And the fact that not many people are there makes it exciting and scary (in a good way). It will be intriguing to go out and try -50C weather in an Antarctic dark winter.

Tropical means hot and HUMID. I hate humid weather. Also, way too many people are at the tropics. I hate overpopulated hot places (yuck).

Definitely Antarctica. Far more expensive to get there for starters.

I've been to tropical islands before and though I adore them I just think Antarctica is a completely foreign thing to me and I would love to see it. Visiting is completely different to living in that climate.

Well I dunno, when I think of tropical islands I have tourism and people in mind.
