    Title THE POSTAL HISTORY OF THE ANTARCTIC 1904 - 1949. Polar Record Vol6 Issue 41 January 1951,pages 45 to 79

    Description Polar Record Extract 1951: Soft card covers as issued, pages 45 to 79, errata slip, illustrated. Extract: The philatelic effusion of a desolate region is due to various causes, frequently political, often financial, sometimes philatelic, but rarely postal. It is therefore hardly surprising that the Antarctic should have produced a variety of material for the philatelist. Post offices have been established by governments in support of claims and counter-claims, by expeditions to help finance themselves, and even by individuals eager to obtain souvenirs; postal facilities have also been provided for men engaged in whaling and scientific work, in addition there are many stamps which depict antarctic motifs suitable for inclusion in an Antarctic "subject" collection and philatelic material in these categories is of great interest.
