Port Lockroy - Antartica

April 2005
Foreign Correspondent has travelled to most of the far-flung pockets of the world, from Iceland to Timbuktu -- but never before have we brought a story back from that great southern land, Antarctica. So this week, a report from the deep south.

ABC "Catalyst" reporter Paul Willis travelled to Antarctica as a scientific adviser on a cruise ship.

Along the way, amongst the penguins and the pack ice, Paul finds an outpost of the British Empire which remains happily, even defiantly frozen in time.

Port Lockroy was once a British research station, but it was closed down in the 1960's. Since then, it has been restored as a living museum to early Antarctic exploration, and it's also home to the only working Post Office on the Antarctic Peninsula.
