Most Antarctic bases are designated as post offices and have a base member who therefore acts as postmaster - usually the Base Commander. As well as domestic post in and out, there is often "tourist post" to deal with either directly from tourists who arrive on cruise ships or from people who send letters down to be franked with an Antarctic postmark and want it to be sent back to them for their collections.
