Hello, I just joined the group..

You may know me from other groups but if not I will introduce myself
briefly.  I am Michael Dodd.. otherwise know as cddstamps.

I started reading about Polar expedictions last year.. and reading
The Last Explorer   all about Hubert Wilkins...    ok nothing to do
with stamps, but   I am also interested in flight and aviation and
there is the link to Wilkins. Also a year or so ago I started to
design and produce flight covers. I made four so far - limited
editions and not that frequent as you can tell. The most recent,
because of an opportunity I had, is associated with the only Qantas
flight to the Antartic for a this New Years eve just past.  Longest
domestic flight in the world, as regarded by many depending on how
long they spend sightseeing down there.  departed Melbourne 31 Dec
arrived back to Melbourne ( no stop of course!!!) on 1st Jan.

Anyway, if you are interested I produced 44 flight covers for the
flight - details are at http://www.cddstamps.com/antarctic.htm   you
might at least enjoy looking at them.  some signed by all four
pilots, some signed by all 18 cabin crew.. and those "unsigned" were
actually certified as flown by one of the Pilots.

I'll be posting pictures taken from the fliight soon as well.

Thank you.. I look forward to reading more from this board and
incresing my Polar knowledge, and polar philatelic knowledge.

Best wishes.. Michael   http://www.cddstamps  and
http://blog.michael.dodd.com

 HELLO ALEXEY, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE OLD RUSSIAN ANTARTIC PHOTOS.
REGARDS,

Yes, Alexey, I would love to see your pictures.  Thank you for  offering.

Kevin and all...

In case you haven't found it, there are many historical photos and MANY shots of
covers from various years on this page of the Russian "Antarctic Research and
Investigation Program":

http://www.aari.aq/default_en.html

Scroll down in the left sidebar to the "photos" heading and check out the "AARI
Photo
Gallery" and the "Antarctic Philately" link.

A couple of other links...here is my page on the Russian traverse to South Pole
in
1959-60: http://www.southpolestation.com/trivia/igy1/dralkin1.html

And more recently (like now!) the Norwegian-US Scientific Traverse visited the
Pole
of Inaccessibility (POI) which was first reached by the Russians during IGY.
Here is
their historical page (which I helped them with) on the Russian venture (which I
helped them with):

http://traverse.npolar.no/historical-traverses/pole-of-inaccessibility/

and a couple of links describing the current visit:
http://traverse.npolar.no/nor-usa-traverse-celebrates-new-year2019s-day-at-pole-\

Hi,

I've been a philatelist for many years now and one of the topics that's
starting to intrigue me is that of polar philately in general. I
noticed there's a Society of Polar Philatelists. I think it costs about
$22 a year to be a member. Are there any members of this list who are
also members of the SPP? Is it worth joining? Also, are there any kinds
of checklists available for polar philatelists? For example, the
American Topical Association publishes checklists for a variety of
topics. I was just wondering how some of you lay out your collections
as polar philately can be a rather broad collecting topic.

By the way, I also collect trains on stamps as well as U.S.,
Philippines and Ukraine. And any and all items of postal history may
end up in my collection as well.

see ebay 150202823478 for one of the finest thesis about the postal history of
the first byrd anatarctic expedition ever written.  grigore

An organization dedicated to the collecting and history of the polar regions is
the American Society of Polar Philatelist (ASPP).  The website is at:

http://www.polarphilatelists.org/

Membership information as well as polar history can be found at this site.

The British also have a similar organization.

Hi Kyle,

Yes, several ASPP members are on this email list. And
yes, ASPP is definitely worth joining. Of course, I'm
somewhat biased, I'm the current president of ASPP. We
put out an award winning journal called Ice Cap News
quarterly, and run 2 - 3 mail auctions of polar
philatelic material each year.

An application for membership is here:
http://www.polarphilatelists.org/join-1.htm and we
have categorized polar collecting interests here:
http://www.polarphilatelists.org/join-2.htm

Please consider joining is! Best Regards/

Thanks Chris,

I'll look into joining your group. If I'm not mistaken, I believe
your group will be holding a meeting at the Philadelphia National
Stamp Exhibition in September. I'd like to attend. I live on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland so it will take me about three hours
driving to get to King of Prussia. My wife won't mind going either
since the King of Prussia Mall is nearby!

I came across a newly posted BBC raw video with the followiing
description: "Australian scientists on Airbus A319 landed on an ice
runway officially adding a new air link to Antarctica."

Here's the URL: http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?
rn=3906861&cl=5931057&ch=4226722&src=news

Here's a text story I found about this as well:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/01/11/2136943.htm?
section=australia


The news story didn't make any mention on how this would impact
Antarctic postal operations but we would have to assume that it will
have some sort of effect. At the very least I'd imagine we'll see an
increase in Antarctic air mail.

What does the rest of the group think?

Hello everyone.. seems ages ago since my covers were actually flown to
the Antarctic but I finally have them back.  All beautifully signed by
the Pilots and some by the full cabin crew complement.

Have a look at my web site for details and pictures before mailing
http://www.cddstamps.com/antarctic.htm..    or tonights blog
http://blog.michael.dodd.com/ which shows one that is signed and
postally cancelled.

You will enjoy seeing these if nothing else..

Best wishes .. Michael

Dear. friends.

Nice to see you.
I'm Ahn Jung Min from Rep. of Korea.

In the late 80s, I put together a file of all the Antarctic-related
stamps I could find in the Scott catalogue.  (I was in high school at
the time so had time on my hands!!!)  This computer file is now rather
out of date - I updated some of the countries a few years ago, but it
is far from complete.  I would be interested in hearing whether there
are others in this group with similar computerized databases of
Antarctic-related stamp issues.

Dear LIST,
   I hope not whole members in Polar Expeditions and perhaps somebody can help.
   So I'm looking for envelopes from :

   Last year in April when the Argentine icebreaker "Almirante IRIZAR" had an
accident and was destroyed by fire the Argentine governement rented the Russian
icebreaker "Vasily Golovnin" in order to take over the service of "IRIZAR". The
ship desserved some Argentine bases like : Orcadas, Esperamza, Marambio and
San-Martin and perhaps from Ushuaia. I'm interested one envelope from each
point. Of course if it's possible.
   In exchange I can offer Russian Antarctic and Arctic materials include
drifting stations "North Pole"
   Kind regards from SPb.
   Yours Sincerely,

   ALEXEY BUTORIN.

I can offer the following covers, in case anyone is interested:

In April 2007, the Argentine ship Irizar, which serviced the
ArgentineAntarctic bases, was damaged b a fire onboard.  The Russian
icebreaker M/V Golovnin was chartered to service the bases.

ARA Irizar wreck navy post - IPY naval coupon - issued by argentinean
Navy Post to commemorate International Polar Year (IPY) and to be used
by mentioned ship from campaign 2006-2007; until August 2007.  No one
piece like this was found on any naval post office - ship was
approximately two months with legal and technical inspections after
return to Puerto Belgrano Naval Base.  In April 2007 - towed by ARA
Olivieri and another tug.  On board post office is the administrative
detail general office - mentioned office suffered very high heat and
smoke but never direct flames.  Fire burnt on deck below compartment;
and for this reason, all material was melted.  Beneath a pile of
melted material a metallic-wooden box was found in August 2007 in the
general cleaning - enclosed was found present piece and others - many
few recovered. they run delayed to destination and for that "incendio"
"fire" is written on cover to explain the late date of delivery - some
navy post without scheduled time of elevation is delivered at the end
of campaign when ship returns to Buenos Aires - this is normal for
many ship campaigns - it still has some smoke smell - it is an unique
piece.  Included is a photo of Irizar at Ushuaia Bay.  US$125.00

All prices plus postage.

Sorry I took so long to respond to this one, but I've been off working. I've
always had a hard time finding a good list of all Antarctic topical issues
so I started putting together my own. It's slightly out of date since I
worked on it around 2001, and a lot of countries have been issuing Antarctic
themed stamps since then. Here's my list. It would great if anyone could add
to it.

Hello everyone

I am a long time cover collector(manned space program)but fairly new
to collecting polar philately. I have become very interested in polar
philately and am trying to learn as much about the subject as possible.

I have a question for the group.Does anyone have a cover in their
collection that has been carried and cancelled at both 90 degrees
north and 90 degrees south(North Pole and South Pole)? Are these types
of covers rare or are they easily obtainable from dealers? I would
appreciate any info on this question and look forward to learning more
about both polar regions and this hobby.

knspacefan, I PRESENT  EVIDENCE IN MY BOOK ABOUT BAE I COVERS THAT BYRD CARIED
COVERS OVER THE NORTH AND SOUTH POLES.  IT APPEARS ON EBAY.  BEST REGARDS,
GRIGORE
