  You can use penguins for pins down there.

    that's actually a violation of the Antarctic Treaty, unfortunately (?) (one of the few things I remember from the myriad videos they make you watch before you go down to the ice)

      Pursuant to sub-paragraph (b) of article 3 of Annex II to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty[1], a permit to "kill, injure, capture, handle or molest" penguins may be issued "to provide specimens for…other…cultural institutions or uses," which could arguably include bowling. IANAL, YMMV, etc., etc. [1] https://documents.ats.aq/cep/handbook/Annex_II_e.pdf#page=2 https://documents.ats.aq/cep/handbook/Annex_II_e.pdf#page=2
