BBC Minute: On running the world's most southerly post office

BBC Minute

Available for over a year

Freezing cold, with thousands of penguins and only three other people for company, Adele Jackson tells us what it's like to run the Port Lockroy post office in the Antarctic Peninsula. Each year a small team spend five months on the island to welcome tourists. They stamp piles of postcards to send from one of the most remote places on earth.
