First job for graduate -in Antarctic

A SCOTTISH university graduate has landed her first job – in charge of the most southerly post office in the world.

Florence Barrow will have three people and 4000 penguins for company when she arrives for work later this year in the Antarctic.

The 22-year-old modern history graduate from St Andrews University beat 160 rivals for the job 11,000 miles away from home. She will be post mistress at Port Lockroy, the most visited area of the Antarctic.
