Welsh Antarctic Daipendency definitives
 

   Wales lays claim to a 1,175,000 square mile of Antarctica based on similarities on the coastal outlines -see the map on the full story download. Shepherds and scientists based there are trying to breed sheep that will survive the harshest of weather.

The definitive stamps are reminiscent of the first QEII issues of South Georgia and purely by accident, or fate was playing tricks, feature whales. Prized by collectors are the covers with all five values posted at Tom Jones Base and signed by the boy himself!

The first decimalised issues, delayed by bad weather and/or a faulty compass on the supply ship are the £sd issues overprinted and re-valued. There were two series of these in fact, with different value overprints in two different text styles.
