Brazil: Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station

On 26th November I got three postcards including one from Brazil.

The card shows the Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station. The Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station is a permanent Antarctic research station on King George Island in the part of Antarctica claimed by Argentina. It began operating in 1984 and is currently home to 60 people, although it was partly destroyed by fire in 2012.

Four Postcrossing stamps were planned for 2020, but only the one from Brazil was issued on 14th July. This one was not easy to get, so I am happy to finally have it in my collection.  


 Thank You very much Mariana!
