Human pinsetter at the McMurdo Station, Antarctica, bowling alley, published in the Antarctic Sun newsletter on January 30, 2000.

McMurdo Station, Antarctica: United States Antarctic Program. Archive thereof: https://web.archive.org/web/20170102185314/https://antarcticsun.usap.gov/pastIssues/1999-2000/2000_01_30.pdf Quotation from January 30, 2000 newsletter: "Shonda Murray sends a ball back to the bowlers before picking up the pins it knocked down. Usually by the time the ball arrives at the top of the lane, Murray has retrieved the pins and is well out of the way. If bowlers forget to check for legs behind the pins, the pinsetters can find themselves victims, rather than helpers." Quotation from January 30, 2000 newsletter: "Each pin that falls is more work for the pinsetters. During each hour of a threehour shift, they might re-set as many as 400 pins, and pick up a 10- to 16-pound ball up to 80 times." Quotation for this image, from January 30, 2000 newsletter: "Tom Piwowarski watches down the lane for the next bowler. He has already prepared fallen pins to be re-set when the frame is finished." Quotation from January 30, 2000 newsletter: "When nobody shows up to bowl, the pinsetters make more work for themselves. Lisa Keller bowls a game while another pinsetter works. After her game they will switch places so the other can bowl." Background information from Raymond, Bruce (credited photographer) Stuffed penguins were set up as bowling pins.... USAP.gov.

The bowling alley was installed by US Navy Seabees. It was dismantled during the austral summer of 2009-2010 due to structural problems in the building."
