King's New Post Box for Antarctic Station
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
King Charles III presents a new red post box to Antarctic research station, marking a unique connection between the monarchy and the remote outpost. The special Royal Mail lamp post box, featuring the Kings cypher, was sent to the British Antarctic Survey station at Rothera, replacing a handmade box. The idea came from Kirsten Shaw, a station support assistant, who emphasizes the emotional lift of receiving physical letters from home. The new post box was delivered by the RRS Sir David Attenborough and will be installed in the Discovery Building, a global hub for climatic research.
