Brooms and penguin toys heading to Antarctica


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Brooms to clean bird droppings, along with thousands of toy penguins, are among tonnes of items being shipped out to the UK's most remote post office.

Each year, four scientists become postmasters, manning the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust's post office at Port Lockroy in Antarctica for four months.

Items to stock the office for tourists, plus food and scientific equipment for the team have now been shipped out.

They include seven brooms, essential for cleaning guano - seabird droppings.

It's Britain's largest Overseas Territory by area. I think it's about the size of Libya.
