TAAF consists of a handful of small islands, located in the
Indian Ocean in the "proximity" of Antarctica between the 40th and
80th degrees of longitude, and 60th and 40th degrees of latitude.
|
|
They are: the Island of Amsterdam, The Island of Saint Paul, Kerguelen, and
Crozet. Further is included Terre Adélie located on the Antarctic
Continent (the green stripe on the map). The areas are mainly stations for climate studies, but serve also scientific
purposes, such as studying the Antarctic Marine Life. The stamps from Taaf
mainly consist of portraits of notable scientists and ships equipped for their
tasks.
