French Southern and Antarctic Territories 1957 –
International Geophysical Year
This trio of stamps, identical apart from their colours, was released in October
1957 to mark the International Geophysical Year. Each illustration shows radio
aerials for studying the Earth’s ionosphere, a scientist with a theodolite and, above it all, some impressive
auroral folds and bands.
