Anybody collecting the 2009 Preserve the Polar Region and Glacier issues being issued by over 50 countries? Lots of stamps/ms/covers were issued and wondering if anyone here collects them apart from me.
I have almost collected all of them except two or three. If there were fellow collectors here, it would have been nice to share. The issues itself make up a nice theme.
I really like the Iceland souvenir sheet. An example is shown in the link indieguy provided. One of the red inks used to print the stamp is heat sensitive -- disappearing when heated and then reappearing as the heat dissipates. That heat sensitive red ink was used to print the diagonal lines showing the current ice coverage.
