That too under ₹100! 🌸✨️

​How to get postal cancellations from Antarctica:

1. ​Get two envelopes, 5-10 postcards, stamps worth ₹12-17, a sheet of paper, and a pen.

2)​On one envelope, write the address of the NCPOR Director.

3)​On the other envelope, write your own address.

​Affix ₹12–17 worth of stamps on the envelope that has your address, not the NCPOR one.

4)​Now write a letter appreciating our scientists and India Post's hard work. (This is not strictly necessary; you can write anything, but appreciating the scientists is a great gesture because they genuinely work hard under some of the toughest climate conditions.)

5. In that letter, state how many postcards you have included. Also, mention that you have inserted a self-addressed envelope with stamps already affixed, and politely request them to place the cancelled postcards inside your self-addressed envelope.

6. ​Insert the letter and the postcards into the NCPOR-addressed envelope.

7. ​Take the envelope on which your name and address are written, fold it, and insert it into the NCPOR-addressed envelope as well.

8. ​Seal the NCPOR-addressed envelope.

​Write "Philatelic materials for cancellations from Antarctica" on the NCPOR envelope (as shown).

9. With self address envelope, postcards and letters inside the NCPOR envelope, speed post it from your nearest post office ;)
