Shy Albatross

Shy Albatross (白額信天翁)
French Southern and Antarctic Territory (2002)
26th January, 2008. Port-aux-Français, Kerguelen

Temporary it is the last cover come from TAAF in my Antarctica collection, and still have one on the way from Australia Antarctica Territory. Shy Albatross is a medium size in whole albatross family which breeds off Australia and New Zealand's islands, lives from South Pacific to sub-Antarctic islands, also have chances to find them off Pacific coast of the United States. Same as most cover came back from different Antarctica bases, the cover stamped with commemorative seal which illustrated King Penguin and icebreaker boat.
