British antarctic territory stamps

The territory of the British Antarctic is a British colony formed since 1963 by 3 former dependencies of the Falkland Islands:

• Graham Land
• South Orkney
• South Shetland.

These islands had their own emissions between 1944 and 1962.

We have collected the corresponding stamps in this section.

On the other hand, the Falkland Islands and their nearby dependencies (South Georgia and South Sandwich) are grouped under the category of South America.

Prior to 1944, only the Falkland stamps were used.

British Antarctica produces very beautiful series

• on the polar theme (navigators, scientific expeditions, fossils ...)

• and on the marine world (cetaceans, seals ...).

The first block sheet of 1974 celebrates the centenary of the birth of Sir Winston Churchill.
