Re: Antarctic Tattoos
Paul,
I've never met anyone with an Antarctic specific tattoo but I believe that it was more or less standard practise at Palmer Station in the late 60s & early 70s for wintering personnel to have an ear piercing and a penguin earing. A FID contemporary of mine (Miles Mosely) who was doing summer duties at Anvers Island succumbed to the temptation on the Palmer Penguin. He also found time to assist in the accidental burning down of the Anvers hut but maybe that should be in the Antarctic fires thread!
