How bizarre.

Be an artist in the Antarctic.

For selected artists and writers, the Foundation provides polar clothing on loan, round-trip economy air travel between a U.S. airport and a port of embarkation for the Antarctic (typically in New Zealand or southern South America), travel between there and the Antarctic, and room, board, and travel in the Antarctic and/or the Southern Ocean as required by the approved project.
