What is wrong with this picture?

In a story from Sydney covering the Live Earth Gorebasm Concerts, the following picture was included:

Caption: Cool start ... scientists from the British research station in Antarctica were the first to kick off the Live Earth concerts with their indie band, Nunatak. Photo: Reuters

There is something odd about this picture, namely that it is the dead of Winter in Antarctica right now. The conditions there right now are perpetual darkness and unbearably cold temperatures. Yet in this photo, it is daylight, and one of the musicians isn't even wearing a hat. Exposed skin is highly susceptible to frostbite at temperatures below -20 degrees. If you look closely, you can even see liquid water in the background which would not be possible this close to land.

Hey Looter guy is good musician remember he is from New Orleans am I RIGHT about that

[The Great RJ]

It looks like a Photoshop composition to me. Look at the edges of the band...too sharp. Besides where are all the drowned polar bears or are they only in Gore’s cartoons?

Sweet Polar Bear in the Mosh Pit !

Like, when, this one time at band camp, Jimi Hendrix had this mittens his mother knitted for him, and...

[Colinsky]

Playing guitar with mittens on is sooooo out of style.

I suspect they are finger-synching.

Are you saying that the people aren’t actually in Antarctica?

I am saying that this picture was not taken on July 7, 2007 as the caption implies.

There is no twilight on July 7th there. Also it snowed that day.

Actually, I never claimed it was a conspiracy. Thanks for sharing though. Do you make a habit out of contributing statements to others that they never made? Perhaps you should post on DU instead.

Looks like Ringo is a little out of focus.

Must have had the same photographer Reuters uses in Beirut!

Or maybe the same version of Adobe Photoshop...
