Working at the Penguin Post Office

五個英國人得到一份很棒的暑期工作。從十一月到明年三月，他們要在南極洲工作。
The jobs are at the Penguin Post Office! It's the farthest post office to the south! One thousand five hundred penguins live outside it!
他們會在南極企鵝郵局工作，這間是全世界最南邊的郵局，還有1500隻企鵝在周圍生活。
About 18,000 people visit every summer! They're cruise ship passengers. They send 80,000 letters and postcards!
每年夏天，大約有1萬8千名搭郵輪的遊客會拜訪南極，寄出大約8萬封的信件跟明信片。
Life at the post office is an adventure. It snows every day so they shovel lots of snow! There's no running water. They empty the toilet every day.
在這個郵局生活本身就是一場冒險。員工每天都需要剷雪。那裡沒有水，所以每天都要清理馬桶。
Cruise ships come a few times a week. They give the workers drinking water. The workers take showers on the ships! Ahhhhh…
郵輪每周會來幾次提供飲用水，郵局員工也可以到郵輪上洗澡。
The penguins are the best part of the job. The workers count them! The worst part is smelling penguin poop day and night! Peeeyuuuu!
