United States Artic Animals Stamps

I was watching one of the nature shows on cable television a couple days ago that featured many of the majestic Artic animals that exist today. Their sheer beauty and grace prompted me to do some research to find out if the United States had created postage stamps depicting these animals. I was pleasantly surprised that they indeed featured many of these beautiful creatures in 1999!

The animals featured on the stamps are the Arctic Hare, Arctic Fox, Snowy Owl, Polar Bear and the Gray Wolf. These stamps bring to life animals of the Arctic, which includes regions generally north of the Arctic Circle, in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Eurasia. They are simply stunning to look at.

I am amazed at how these Arctic animals live by their ability to adapt to bitterly cold winters. They endure strong winds and temperatures that are often 50 degrees below zero. Life can certainly be hard on the Tundra.
