A note about mail and packages:
Mail is received in Christchurch, New Zealand, seven days a week. Letter mail is transported from Christchurch to Antarctica on all available southbound flights. Letter mail service varies, generally taking 5 to 14 days, sometimes longer depending on the time of year. Letter mail always takes priority over package mail, both to and from Antarctica. Packages have the lowest priority of all cargo being transported to Antarctica, resulting in a delivery time of up to six weeks. Please do not send perishable foods.

There is no mail service to McMurdo or South Pole stations during the winter. Most parcels mailed after Feb. 1 will not be received in Christchurch in time to be forwarded. Mail not received in time for forwarding to Antarctica before the winter will be held until August. Packages intended to reach McMurdo Station by Christmas need to be mailed from the US by Halloween.

Please do not include packing material such as peanuts or Styrofoam, instead use recyclable or reusable materials. Keep in mind that everything shipped to Antarctica must come back from Antarctica and participants are limited in their luggage weights. Simple letters and pictures make for the best correspondence.

And then of course, you can always find me on FaceBook!
