[sigh] From the apple web site (usually the first place people look), 
http://www.apple.com/airport/specs.html, or even printed in the base 
station manual, or (probably) on the base station its-self:

Electrical and environmental requirements
Line voltage: 100V to 240V AC
Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz
Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Storage temperature: -13°to 140° F ( -25° to 60° C)
Relative humidity (operating): 20% to 90%, noncondensing
Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet
Maximum storage altitude: 15,000 feet

Or for the less "technically minded" (read what you will) this means 
it'll pretty much work everywhere apart from on top of mountains.
