This stamp was issued on 25 October 2015. It belongs to a set of four penguins. This one is the
Macaroni (Don't you love the
hairstyle?).
A penguin is not a mammal of the sea, so this would not do for today's
Sunday Stamps-II. But it arrived on the back of this postcard, showing a
Young Bull Fur Seal on
Bird Island... Would you accept that?

I had absolutely to share this postcard because it arrived from a place that is difficult to add to the
places I've been to category:
South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. A postcard from Antarctica! How cool is it? It arrived on 1 April, after a 34-days trip.
As you can see on the postmark, it was sent from
King Edward Point Research Station,
but the sender remains a mystery. If it was you, I just want let you know that you made my day! (And of course, let me know if you wish to receive a postcard back.) Mystery solved! I don't know exactly who sent it, but I know who arranged the sending.
Accepted for sure. Such a wonderful stamp, postcard, mystery!

DeleteHow exciting to get a card from Antarctica!!
ReplyDelete(and a chance to see a penguin - with a seal - is quite acceptable. this was probably a more challenging topic than I thought it would be!)
I probably have some stamps of sea mammals,but I didn't look for the,. I just wanted to publish this!
DeleteBrilliant - the penguin and the seal. You must be very proud to have that card.
ReplyDeleteIt has been certainly a wonderful surprise.
DeleteThe mystery has been solved. Well, I don't know exactly who sent it, but I know who arranged the sending.
