Goa and Antarctica are located at two different ends of the world. The weather, situation and environment of both are completely different. Goa which is situated on the beach. Tourists come here to visit a lot. The pleasant weather, sea shore and beautiful view attracts people a lot here. There is Antarctica on one side. There is only snow all around here. It is much difficult to live in this place than the plains. But do you know that one thing is the same in Goa and Antarctica. The pin code number of these two places is similar. After all, let’s know why it is so.

Why one of Goa and Antarctica PIN Code is one?

If you want to post a letter in Antarctica, then write the PIN code number of Goa on it, it will reach Antarctica. Now you must be wondering what we are joking. But this is not a joke but true. Actually the pin code of Goa and Antarctica is the same. The PIN code of both opposite places is 403001. Actually it happened that in the year 1983, when India’s first research center was opened in South Gangotri Antarctica. A year later, a post office was opened in South Gangotri.

Where does the letter sent for Antarctica go

This was the first post office outside the Indian sub-continent. This post office was opened there so that the families of researchers can write a letter to them, but how will the letter reach there? This was a big question. The answer was that all such letters should be posted Goa. When you write PIN Code 403001 with Antarctica in the address of the letter, this letter will first go to ‘National Center for Polar and Ocean Research’ NRPor located in Port Town Vasco, Goa. After this, these letters are given to the researcher who is going to Antarctica.

Why NCPor goes letters

Letters are canceled and brought back to the research center. After this, it is returned through post. According to the officials, ‘cancellation’ has to be traced on the postage stamp or stationery, which is to eliminate the ticket or prevent the fir from reuse. Actually, NCPor in Goa is the center of Indian campaigns in Antarctica, so Goa’s PIN code is used in it.
