Falkland
Islands Dependencies
|
Stamps
of the Falkland Islands were used on South Georgia from 1909 until
1944 and on the South Shetlands from 1912 to 1931. Stamps of the
Falkland Islands with values higher than one shilling were used
in the Dependencies from 1944 until 1954 when the Dependencies issued
their own high value stamps. |
In 1962,
the Falkland Islands Dependencies became restricted to South Georgia
and the South Sandwich Islands. At this time Graham Land, the South
Orkneys, the South Shetlands, Alexander I Land and the part of Coats
Land belonging to the dependencies became a separate colony, the British
Antarctic Territory.
