The United Kingdom (UK) Antarctic Heritage Trust wants to find five people to work at the “Penguin Post Office” in Port Lockroy, Antarctica. They need a group head, a shop manager, and three helpers. The work lasts for five months, from November 2024 to March 2025, and is for healthy UK residents (居民) over 18 years old.

Workers need to deal with over 80,000 letters and postcards sent by the 18,000 tourists who visit the post office each summer. They will also help sell stamps, run the gift shop, and take care of the old building. But their main task is to watch over Port Lockroy’s about 1,500 penguins.

For those who want to apply for the jobs, it’s important to know that the condition is △ . Even in summer, temperatures can drop to as low as -5℃. All the five workers will live in one room with a very small kitchen. There’s no flushing toilet; instead, they will use a camping toilet that needs to be cleaned every day.

There’s almost no phone and Internet. And there is no running water. Ships bring water in cans and offer showers every few days. But bad weather might mean no showers for a while. If someone gets sick, it could take up to a week to get them to the closest hospital in Argentina. And they’ll have to deal with the smell of penguin poop (大便) for five months!

Even though there are many challenges, the jobs, which open up every summer, receive thousands of applications (申请) each year. Camilla Nichol, the Trust’s CEO, says it’s no surprise. She believes that the jobs allow people to experience amazing nature where important findings have been made about our planet.
