While I’m in Antarctica, I hear that I’ll have access to a (very small) post office, and I’d love to send you a postcard from the South Pole! There are two ways to get one.

A. Send me a letter or package yourself, and I’ll send you something awesome back. Maybe a post card? Maybe something else fun. Be sure to include your return address in the package, and be sure to ship soon – mail takes a long time to get to me. Here are the official mailing instructions from USAP. (PDF link) My mailing address in Antarctica is:

Jeffrey Donenfeld, GSC

South Pole Station

PSC 768 Box 400

APO AP 96598

B. Fill out this form and add your name to my post card list. This list is only for my personal friends, and I’ll give this list second priority for cards etc. If you put yourself on this list, and I don’t recognize your name, I probably wont send you a card.

Talk to ya soon!
