that's actually a violation of the Antarctic Treaty, unfortunately (?)

(one of the few things I remember from the myriad videos they make you watch before you go down to the ice)



Pursuant to sub-paragraph (b) of article 3 of Annex II to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty[1], a permit to "kill, injure, capture, handle or molest" penguins may be issued "to provide specimens for…other…cultural institutions or uses," which could arguably include bowling.

IANAL, YMMV, etc., etc.

hmm, ok I'll ask that at the briefing next time I go!
