Scientific trip to the Antarctic - special stamp booklet mint never hinged, TAAF

This edition can be described as a philatelic illustrated book. On the one hand, it contains four stamp booklet pages, each with four postage stamps, on which exceptional photos of French scientific stations in the Antarctic are reproduced. The other pages of the booklet are now designed with glossy photos. The individual postage stamps without specific denomination are valid for the postage level for international letters up to 20 g.

Let's now look at the individual scientific stations:
