The UK Antarctic Heritage Trust is seeking five people to staff remote Port Lockroy in Antarctica for the upcoming season, which begins in November 2024 and goes until March 2025.
A job posting for Antarctica-based positions is turning a few heads. The U.K. Antarctic Heritage Trust is looking to hire five people for a five-month stint at the world's southernmost post office in Antarctica — including someone to sort mail and count the number of penguins in the area.

Applications for the five open positions at Port Lockroy are due by March 18 — and applicants must live in the United Kingdom and be permitted to work there. Fox News Digital reached out to the UKAHT for additional comment. For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle
