Port Lockroy is a well known antarctic base, being famous for its post office (the southernmost of its kind) and museum. Most trips to Antarctica, whether on a cruise ship or a sailing boat stop here at some point. It is situated on Goudier Island, a small island of the Palmer Archipelago near the western coast of the Antarctic Penisula.

For most visitors arriving aboard their comfortable cruise ships the highlight is sending greeting cards from the southernmost post office, or adding an Antarctica stamp to their passport - mine was breathing fresh air and photographing a (probably) nameless peak.
