  1. Hi Erik. Greetings from Kenya. Nice to read your blog and the experiments you have been doing…. I can say our themes are most similar… Even I collect covers from rare and autonomous places of the world and postmarks from unique places… Also crazy for covers from south and north poles…

    1. Hey Bhavin, yep it is a fun hobby! 🙂 If you want a card from Sochi, Russia, I can one to you, just write me your address via “About” page (maybe I still have something with special postmarks). Btw, I’m not aware of any permanent research stations at the North Pole, but there are a few in the northern islands.. The most Northern land I have is Svalbard (still need time to post that one)..
