Melting Glaciers - Finlands 2 Circle Shaped Stamps

Preserve the Polar Regions and Glaciers. Some 40 countries will issue stamps on climate change. The common theme is Preserve the Polar Regions and Glaciers. The polar regions play an important role in the global climate system: changes there are reflected around the world and it is precisely where global warming is currently at its fastest and greatest extent. The international stamp collaboration is being led by Itella, the postal operator in Finland.

The Finnish joint issue on climate change is a two-stamp miniature sheet entitled Melting Glaciers designed by Saku Heinänen. The sheet depicts a Polar sea in which pieces of melting ice shelf are floating. In the middle of each stamp on the sheet is a snowflake symbol, the campaign insignia used by all the issuing countries.
