Boredom can lead to terrible things. However it can have unexpected results if properly channelled. So to complement Gareth’s post below about Sigur Rós’ movie Heima, I bring you to other end of the earth to showcase the results of boredom, in just as breathtaking surroundings, at the south pole.

At the British Antarctic Survey’s Rothera Research Station a group of scientists recorded a great song made entirely with household implements and the few acoustic instruments they had to hand. They then filmed a short video for it and uploaded it to YouTube for the world’s perusal. Considering how it was made it’s actually a lovely track.

Who ever said there was only one cure for boredom?

Warning: there’s no sound for the first bit so don’t blow your eardrums by turning the volume up.
