Five ‘everyday’ Britons are about to receive a major shock to the system – they’re being sent to one of the most remote and inhospitable places on the planet to live and work.

This week, the group are being sent 9,000 miles away by the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) to staff Earth's southernmost post office and museum on football-pitch-sized Goudier Island. Their neighbours? Around 1,000 gentoo penguins. (Daily Mail)

Those utensils seem to be from a bygone era. Sending people to man a post office in this modern age when emails are the accepted system and to an uninhabited place? In the 60's National Geographic Magazine carried an article about a British weather station somewhere in that area.

Wonder what their work will be? It may be a ruse to stake a claim to the island.
