All NSF stations research stations there supported by the government of the United States have their own, annually-designated postal assignments. Technically, you are posting to a military base: APO-Army Post Office; AP-Armed Forces Pacific. Service is for any temporary scientist or worker in support of science, whether military or civilian. The mail transits through New Zealand where it is transferred to Antarctica via US Military C-17 transport/cargo planes. Other countries have their own mail and postal designations for their stations on the continent.
To mail items to Antarctica, you would need to use a courier service that specializes in shipping to remote locations.

It's important to follow specific guidelines for packaging and addressing to ensure successful delivery to this remote destination.
Mail usually arrives either by airplane or by ship, depending on the research station's location.
