Expedition post

Expeditions have often produced local stamps or cinderellas to not only promote their explorations but also to offset some costs. Otherwise a few have had official postal support as the New Zealand Antarctic expedition stamps show below. Any mail carried will have its origin known by either postmark/cachet dates or by other markings.  File:New Zealand KEVII Land.jpg|1908 New Zealand stamp for the Shackleton Antarctic Expedition.
