The American Society of Polar Philatelists is rarely mentioned here on SCF, and I would like to take this opportunity to raise their profile a bit. http://www.polarphilatelists.org/Their newsletter is the near-eponymous ICE CAP NEWS; ~60 years of back issues are available on CDROM for ~$1//year. They also sell the ' Essence of Polar Philately' by Hal Vogel. http://pbbooks.com/newfor.htm "A surprisingly enjoyable book even for those with no interest in the subject." Joe Bob says check 'em out. Cheers, /s/ ikeyPikey
