Concordia Station via Dumont D'Urville, TAAF

I always receive nice covers back from Concordia Station. This one is signed by expedition leader Rocco Ascione of ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development). The base is operated jointly by France and Italy.

Hi,
what is the address for the station?
Can i just use the same address ad Dumont D'Urville like this:

Base Concordia
C/O Base Dumont d'Urville - District de Terre-Adélie - TAAF
...

or i have to use a different address entirely?

I'm not sure if you can reach the base that way. I've always sent my covers to Concordia through ENEA which is the Italian agency that provides logistics support for the Italian Antarctic bases, but the last cover I sent came back with a note saying the post office box I put in the address was now closed.

Something like this might work but I can't say for sure:

Concordia Station
Ufficio ENEA-UTA a Christchurch - Italian Antarctic Program
c/o Antarctica New Zealand
International Antarctic Center
38 Orchard Road, Harewood
Christchurch 8053
New Zealand
