Antarctica’s most unusual tourist destination is a unique British post office located in the heart of the Antarctic Peninsula at Port Lockroy, about 700 miles south of Argentina and Chile. Port Lockroy Base A became a historical monument in 1996 and now attracts up to 18,000 visitors a year who come to see the gentoo penguins and mail postcards from Antarctica. I was going to hide this box in the gift shop but didn't feel comfortable leaving it there, so I have made this a Digital Box. If you visit anywhere in Antarctica, not just the Post Office, log your "find" on LBNA with the date and click below for the stamp image.
