GOA5 2005 (October 25th) National Centre postcard with Centre's pictorial penguin meter. Price US$5.
Note: the above postcard has a strike of the rarely seen penguin logo meter which the Antarctic Centre uses mainly for bulk mail. The meter above shows the usual weakness of the impression at its top. It appears impossible now to get a perfect strike of this impression so it is possable that the meter head will soon be replaced. |

Note: the postage stamp used on this envelope is a World Environment Day stamp. |
