Icebergs are fascinating. Even though we know that they are white, their colours are incredibly varied depending on whether you look at them in the early hours or in the last evening light.

Abandoned stations – new series

“Abandoned stations” is the title of a new series con- sisting of a total of six stamps. The series focuses on the history told by the abandoned facilities and sta- tions around Greenland today. In order to tell the story about the abandoned stations on stamps, we have co-operated with the National Museum and Archives of Greenland, among others, and a couple of artists. Special thanks to architect and curator Inge Bisgaard of Greenland National Museum and Archives in . The stamps will be issued in normal sheets and printed in offset.
