Welcome

If you are interested in collecting postage stamps or other philatelic material from the circumpolar world, you've come to the right place.

Barrow, Alaska, 1938     Our members specialize in collecting material from the Arctic and Antarctic, including anywhere north and south of the 60th parallel of latitude (Alaska, the Canadian territories, Greenland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland and Russia).

    The Polar Philately Mailing List was founded in August 1999 by Michael de Jong from the Netherlands, and in December 2004 responsibility for the project was assumed by Murray Lundberg from Canada. The project includes this Web site, and the free Polar Philately Email Discussion List.
