Proper postageFollow the rules to receive philatelic mail from AntarcticaPosted October 15, 2010
Philatelists may obtain a maximum of two covers (self-addressed stamped envelopes) a year by writing to the postal clerks (addresses below) at the three year-round U.S. Antarctic stations. (Note that Palmer Station doesn’t have its own post office. Cancels are handled in Punta Arenas, Chile.) For further guidelines, consult the official National Science Foundation philatelic mail page . Covers will be processed for personal (i.e., noncommercial) use of individuals only. U.S. correspondents use domestic first-class postage for the APO addresses (below) and international first-class or airmail postage for the Palmer Station address. Non-U.S. correspondents use international first-class or airmail postage. Philatelic Mail Clerk McMurdo Station, Antarctica PSC 469 APO AP 96599-1035
