 On 19960323, BAT issued a set of four stamps to honor the 24th SCAR. https://www.scar.org/ ... The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research Quote:
The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) is an inter-disciplinary committee of the International Science Council (ISC), and was created in 1958. SCAR is charged with initiating, developing and coordinating high quality international scientific research in the Antarctic region (including the Southern Ocean), and on the role of the Antarctic region in the Earth system. SCAR provides objective and independent scientific advice to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings and other organizations such as the UNFCCC and IPCC on issues of science and conservation affecting the management of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean and on the role of the Antarctic region in the Earth system. Cheers, /s/ ikeyPikey (who looked at the 76p and thought "box kite?")  |
