We choose a function for the radius that approaches 1. For example, we could use 1+2*exp(-0.1*\t):
\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw [red] (0,0) circle [radius=1]; \draw [domain=0:50,variable=\t,smooth,samples=500] plot ({\t r}: {1+2*exp(-0.1*\t)}); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}
