Volunteers Embark on Unique Antarctic Mission with Penguins and Postcards

British teams take on conservation and postal duties in one of the world's most remote locations.

Five volunteers will spend five months at Port Lockroy on Goudier Island, managing the world's southernmost post office.
The team will conduct conservation work, including counting gentoo penguin nests, eggs, and chicks.
Volunteers will also oversee a museum and handle thousands of postcards sent annually from the site.
The assignment involves challenging living conditions with no running water or flushing toilets, and constant daylight.
A second team will perform essential repairs at the isolated Blaiklock Island Refuge, accessible only by boat.
