Ice Station Antarctica Ads
April 9, 2008 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Photography & Science
The Natural History Museum in London currently has an exhibition up called Ice Station Antarctica which recreates the frigid temperatures and 24-hour darkness you find at the bottom of the world. While I could probably write like 8 pages about just how cool that is, what really struck me were the awesome advertisements they created for the exhibit.
The pieces were shot by Paul Thompson and feature the frostbitten faces of little kids, except that they’re all sporting beards, just like all Antarctic explorers should. I think these are absolutely rad. Not only do the beards look real, but the way they’re shot is absolutely beautiful and arctic-y. Take a peek at the rest of Paul’s work as well, he’s really good at coming up with some great set-ups.

wow this is one of the most original ad campaigns i have seen in a while
Whats really cool is in the exhibit the kids get to actually be fully kitted out in the expedition gear.
Great!!
I’m a designer at Gnoso Inc, and we released a similar ad back in January. It’s funny how two different designers get the same idea. Here’s a link to the our site. http://www.ncover.com/total_coverage
Haha that looks awesome Ethan! I can only hope my baby comes out of the womb with a full beard…
