Although the cover includes what appears to be a 50th anniversary cachet on it, it's likely this was a cachet produced for the 50th anniversary of the New Zealand Antarctic program which was back in 2006, and not the 50th anniversary of the Antarctic Treaty which was Dec of 2009 and commemorated on the stamp on this cover.
Mail hasn't been processed at the Scott Base on the continent since 1987. All mail to and from the base is handled by the Dependency post office in Christchurch New Zealand, hence the Christchurch cancel on this cover.

Hey, how did you get this Cachet cancllation of Ross Cover.
When sent email to them they just said they do only postal cancellation for Ross at Christchurch Agency.
Good One.
All mail to the Ross Dependency is processed through Christchurch and this cover was cancelled there also. They apply the cachet stamps there too.
