TAAF 2020 Ciel de Terre Adélie (Sky of Adelie) Stamp with Glitter



Issue date 02 Jan 2020

La Terre Adélie is one of the 5 districts of the French Southern and Antarctic Territories (TAAF) with Crozet, Kerguelen, Amsterdam and the Scattered Islands. France is conducting scientific research in many disciplines there. Each year, a new team takes over. The weather station at the Dumont d'Urville base has been in continuous activity since 1956.

La Poste France has issued a special commemorative stamp which features glitter printing on the stamp featuring the Southern Austral Polar lights seen at the TAAF base of Dumont D'Urville. The polar aurora is a phenomenon which occurs in the upper atmosphere and which manifests itself during the night by the appearance in the sky of gleams whose shape and intensity can evolve quickly and whose color is generally located between blue-green and yellow, more rarely towards red. They are called the aurora borealis (northern hemisphere) or Australis Borealis (southern hemisphere).
