2021 Ireland Stamps Ice Men Irish Antarctic Explorers MNH Pair Of W Rate Stamp Irishmen were at the heart of Antarctic expeditions during what is regarded as the ‘golden age’ of such missions in the 1800s and early 1900s. It is fitting therefore that we salute these courageous explorers by issuing four stamps to highlight the role played by eight Irishmen, who were members of various challenging and pioneering expeditions. Kilkea, County Kildare-born Ernest Shackleton and Tom Crean from near Annascaul, County Kerry have achieved wide recognition over the years but the other six explorers featured on our stamps are less well known. These are Ballinacurra, County Corkborn Edward Bransfield, Patrick Keohane (Courtmacsherry, County Cork), Robert Forde (Bandon, County Cork), Francis Crozier (Banbridge, County Down) and brothers Tim and Mortimer McCarthy from Kinsale, County Cork Check Out My Other Listings For Many More Irish Stamps For Sale Combined shipping is available Thanks for looking
