Barry_Cooper commented Posting a letter to Antarctica for Christmas? Get in quick!

We may not have yet got through Halloween, let alone Bonfire Night but already the last posting dates for Christmas have come around.If you plan on sending mail to Antarctica, then you better get your skates on as mail needs to be making its way by Wednesday (October 28) to coincide with Santa Claus' arrival on Christmas Day.Believe it or not, there are 150 British Antarctic Survey (BAS) staff that work on the continent and as it's nine thousand miles away, it can take up to three weeks by ship.
