国王派了一个真正的红色邮箱到南极洲的罗瑟塔站,
The King sent a real red post box to Antarctica’s Rothera Station to boost morale during winter isolation.
2025年12月,国王应站支助助理Kirsten Shaw的请求,向南极罗瑟亚研究站的科学家赠送了一个真正的红色皇家邮递信箱及其密码。
In December 2025, the King gifted a genuine red Royal Mail post box with his cypher to scientists at Rothera Research Station in Antarctica, following a request from station support assistant Kirsten Shaw.
该邮箱由RRS爵士David Attenborough在非洲大陆漫长的冬季黑暗之后交付,取代了手工油漆的复制品,并将安装在该站的新发现大楼中。
Delivered by the RRS Sir David Attenborough after the continent’s long winter darkness, the post box replaces a hand-painted replica and will be installed in the station’s new Discovery Building.
它支持从南极洲通过福克兰群岛和RAF Brize Norton向联合王国发送信件的重要邮件路线,帮助维持孤立的冬季几个月的士气和联系,当时只有22名工作人员留任。
It supports the vital mail route that sends letters from Antarctica to the UK via the Falkland Islands and RAF Brize Norton, helping maintain morale and connections during the isolated winter months when only 22 staff remain.
这一姿态是继国王早先给研究人员的个人信息之后作出的,并引起该地点附近的阿德利企鹅的注意。
The gesture follows the King’s earlier personal message to researchers and has drawn attention from Adelie penguins near the site.
