  Commemorative issue of South Georgia Wildlife stamps

  

  Two-hundred and fifty years ago, January 1775, Captain James Cook landed at Possession Bay and took possession of the island, in the name of King George III and his heirs. In this anniversary year we celebrate South Georgia and its change from a little known and little valued island to a thriving UK Overseas Territory which is globally renowned for championing science, conservation and sustainable management.
