The National Science Foundation -- representing the United States of America in Antarctica -- supports three permanent research stations on the continent, namely:
The foundation supports other stations that operate during the austral summer, some of which are temporary.
McMurdo Research Station is one -- and there are many others. You can review the list, below.

The name Mirny, literally peaceful, was used for this research station, according to its Wikipedia page, based on celebrating the name of the ship used during the first Russian Antarctic Expedition. The ship Vostok was also used to name another Russian research station, 1,400 K inland from Mirny.Mirny is the staging area for supply to Vostok, which is accomplished overland. Vostok is the only inland research station on Antarctica supplied by overland supply vehicles.
If you mean base is a generic name for a research station, they are established on crevasse-free zones or near the coasts. Buildings are constructed there the same way they are constructed in the country supporting the station. Wood, metal and glass are all useful components for buildings in Antarctica.
When addressing a letter to Antarctica, you would typically write the recipient's name, their research station (if applicable), the word "Antarctica," and the relevant numbers for their station or location if known. You can also specify the research organization or program that the recipient is affiliated with for more accurate delivery.

Many countries have research stations in Antarctica. If you don't know a specific person at a specific station, review the list of installations on the link below and you can address your correspondence to 'To Whom It May Concern' or 'Station Director'. Most personnel information for these sites are not published because for most, it is a temporary assignment. Your inquiry may be given more attention if you contact an installation belonging to your own country rather than a randomly selected station. Since there are no roads or street addresses, you can address your letter to: the station name, Antarctica.
