Antarctica address formats by country

Welcome, curious traveler! 🐧

You've ventured to the iciest continent of them all—Antarctica!

While we’d love to provide address formats, it turns out penguins, polar bears, and ice queens don’t have any! Antarctica is a “No fixed address” zone, but if having one is a twinkle in your eye, you could be the postmaster general there if you’re a real go-getter and don’t mind frostbite…

If you want to send a letter, just attach it to a snowflake and whisper it to the wind. It’ll have about as much luck as traditional mail delivery here.

Fun fact: The closest thing Antarctica has to addresses are the names of research stations like McMurdo, Palmer, and Concordia. But even then, there’s no official postal system—just a lot of determined researchers and sled dogs (okay, maybe no dogs anymore, but the imagery is fun, right?).
