I sent this down there last October. Not much extra going on. Just the postmarks. I'm not really surprised. The US post offices in the Antarctic don't normally put a lot of additional handstamps and markings on outgoing mail. It's all business at the USPS. But at least the postmarks clearly say it came from the South Pole.
The US post offices in the Antarctic at McMurdo and Amundsen-Scott are operated as APOs : Army Post Offices. The US Air Force has been running a continuous mission to support the National Science Foundation and their actives in the Antarctic which includes delivering the mail.
