Swimsuit models and hot rods have no place near the poles, so it makes sense that a new calendar raising funds for polar scientists would feature something that gets them more excited: a decent place to answer the call of nature.
“One of the fun things that bonds polar scientists together is the outdoor toilet experience,” said Dr. Jenny Baeseman, director of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS). The Tromso, Norway-based non-profit group plans to use the funds raised from the Polar Potties calendar to train young scientists how to share their findings with the general public, who – through government funding – typically pay for their research.
The calendar features 12 different toilets photographed on location in the Arctic or Antarctic. Weaned from about 55 entries, three of the 12 photos are from Nunavut.
