Welcome to this stamps, first-day covers and postcards gallery of mine euphemistically called Lets Talk Stamps. My desire here, is to show as often as I can, some of my presumed beauties and talk about them. And hopefully make Your Day in the bargain. In case you want a better view, JUST CLICK on the picture and it will be ENLARGED. Please also see my picture postcards blog www.mypicturepostcards.blogspot.in

USSR - Antarctica
The Russians are not new to exploration in the Antarctic ice covered landmass. The stamps shown were issued to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Soviet Exploration of this vast and largely unknown land.
India is also a major player in Antarctic Exploration, and many Expeditions have been sent there. The Russians have assisted the Indians in setting up their camp at Dakshin Gangotri.
The stamps I am displaying are se-tennants with very peculiar perforations in the centre. Experts on se-tennants and perforations may like to comment on this.
