POS Malaysia (i.e. Malaysia's postal service) is releasing Antarctic commemorative stamps on March 8, 2012. These stamps honor Malaysia's Antarctic Research Programme. The release includes 3 different stamp designs (2 worth 90 sen and one worth 60 sen). The two 90 sen designs are featured on the same stamp sheet while the 60 sen has its own stamp sheet. The first day issue envelope features images of researchers working in Antarctica.
