10th anniversary of the Southern Cross operation in Antarctica


The Correos Argentino has issued a stamp to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Southern Cross operation in Antarctica during which the Icebreaker A.R.A. Almirante Irizar, primarily responsible for the operation of the Southern Cross, provided assistance, supplies and medical aid to the German ship Magdalena Oldendorff locked in Antarctica. The stamp features the Argentinean icebreaker, the map showing the location of the event and the flags of Argentina and Germany.
