Also, for those of you wishing to obtain postmarks from the U.S. Antarctic stations, an opportunity exists for philatelists to receive mail by following certain procedures. Philatelic mail is processed and returned to the sender as soon as possible, but processing of this mail is in addition to regular duties of station personnel. Thus, several months may pass before mail is returned. Some processing is done during the Austral winter when Antarctic stations are isolated, thereby creating further delays. Patience is a must!
