Let’s send bearded kids to Antarctica

Paul Thompson

The Natural History Museum in London has an exhibit that features Antarctic qualities such as 24 hour darkness and frigid cold temperatures. Ice Station Antarctica challenges kids to see if they are up to the challenges faced in the extreme Antarctic environment. The bearded kids are from posters advertising the exhibition, shot by Paul Thompson, whose work is really quite stunning. Why do the kids have beards? Don’t all arctic and antarctic explorers have beards?

    It’s the “barrel full of penguin vomit” that’s going to pull in the crowds.

    Exactly! I wanted to include that quote but it somehow didn’t fit the spirit of the post :(

    Great. Now, thanks to the powers of Photoshop, even little kids have better facial hair than me.
