Does anyone know, or can recommend, literature on the postal history of the Antarctic? Cancellations, cachets, routes, expeditions?

I am grateful for any lead.

re: Looking for reference literature on Antarctic postal history

Arno,

If you're a member of APS, you can access the American Philatelic Research Library in person or at a distance by phone or email. On several occasions, I have requested information and received goldmines' for a relative pittance. The staff are obliging in the extreme, and very efficient. For as little as U.S. $10, I have received pages and pages of photocopied information that has proved invaluable in my work various web pages and exhibits. As far as I'm concerned, the cost of being an APS member is more than justified by having the APRL at my disposal.

Look up articles by Steve Pendleton. He is a fairly prolific author on Antarctic/Southern Pacific Islands. I don't know if he has published routes & dates & such, but I always look forward to his articles in the AP and other journals.

re: Looking for reference literature on Antarctic postal history

Thank you for mentioning Pendleton. Also, I am a member of APS, so their library is an option. Still, if someone can recommend anything specific, especially a listing/history of post offices and postmarks, that would be great. I know it is an odd colecting area and the fact that Antarctica is divided up by multiple nations probably does not make it easier to find a good reference book.

I am bringing this inquiry to the light of day again -- any new or additional recommendations?
