The location of the capsule buried in 2004 might have changed or submerged after years of being buried in the South Pole.

The All Women Expedition to Antarctica mission to retrieve a time capsule buried in Antarctica in 2004 may be difficult due to surface changes, said Dr Sharifah Mazlina Syed Abdul Kadir, the person responsible for planting the capsule.

"To be honest, I think it is almost impossible for the three national ‘ice queens' to bring home the capsule even though it is one of the main missions undertaken by the expedition. The mission, which is scheduled to take place from December 18 to January 3, would include the Malaysian Army Corporal Siti Jumaidah Bensali, 34; Administrative and Diplomatic Officer at the Home Affairs Ministry Salehah Abu Nor, 33; and pharmacist Nurul Atiqah Tamarun, 31.

According to Sharifah, the team would still go to the spot where the capsule was buried and take photographs with the new capsule to be brought along on the current mission to prove their effort to find and retrieve the capsule.
