The British Antarctic Territory, a large section of the continent of Antarctica claimed by Great Britain for research purposes, has used its own postage stamps since 1963. Many of these issues, of course, are aimed at collectors, or at least are very collector-friendly.
The designs on the stamps of the British Antarctic Territory tend to be related to the frozen southern continent, and show penguins, snowy hills, research stations, and maps of the area.
Over the years, there have been several special philatelic collectibles made available for interested collectors of the British Antarctic Territory. These include first day covers, maximum cards, and minisheets. Other collectors browse sales listings for complete sets, stamp blocks, errors, airmail stamps, overprints, and any unhinged and never-hinged stamps of the territory.
