Interesting Post Offices

So everyone reading this has been to the standard type of post office..but what about some of these really interesting ones?



The island nation of Vanuatu offers two such odd post offices. The first listed above is an underwater post! How cool is that? You can buy postcards in the giftshop that are waterproof. They will then be mailed from the underwater office with a special stamp and postmark! Pretty neat in my opinion. I have been looking to see if they do a re-mailing service but I am having no luck. If anyone else finds it please let me know!



How about mailing them from a volcano?!? That blue box there literally sits on Mt. Yasur crater (a live volcano) and is a perfect place to mail other postcards! You can by special cards that depict the volcano itself and there are also special stamps. You also get a volcano postmark as well! Now thats some hot mail!

There are other underwater Post Boxes in St. Thomas, Susami and the Bahamas. And again I was unable to find re-mailing information about any of them.

There are also some Polar Post Offices you can look at here.

Do you know of an interesting Post Office that I have overlooked? Please let me know!
