Australian Antarctic Territory Stamps Issued 1996 - First Day Cover

Although these stamps look like they are photographs, they are in fact paintings by the artist who was stationed at the Australian Antarctic Division in 1989.  The paintings depict the extreme land forms that exist on the Antarctic continent - perspectives are difficult to maintain in these landscapes.
