It’s a unique job with a unique locale. The world's southernmost post office is seeking employees to spend four months sorting mail and counting penguins at Antarctica's "penguin post office." U.K. Antarctic Heritage Trust, the organization that runs Britain's Port Lockroy base on Goudier Island, said it is seeking three people to staff the post office from November of this year until March 2025. The workers' duties will include sorting through letters and postcards, selling postage stamps, running a small gift shop and keeping count of Port Lockroy's colony of about 1,500 gentoo penguins. While life at the South Pole sounds idyllic, there are some downsides: applicants must be residents of the United Kingdom, must be prepared to bunk with five other people, go long stretches without phone or Internet access and must be willing to make do without running water for the duration of their stay. But hey – penguins!
