Item Description
The SIRIUS DOG SLED PATROL , known informally as the Sirius Patrol and formerly known as North-East Greenland Sledge Patrol and Resolute Dog Sled Patrol, is an elite Danish naval unit. It conducts long-range reconnaissance patrolling, and enforces Danish sovereignty in the Arctic wilderness of northern and eastern Greenland, an area that includes the Northeast Greenland National Park - the largest national park in the world. Patrolling is usually done in pairs of officers using dog sleds with about a dozen dogs, sometimes for four months at a time and often without additional human contact.In 2000 Greenland honored this elite and historic patrol with a 10 Kr. stamp showing two Danish officers and their team of sledge dogs.
This handcolored cachet interprets the SIRIUS emblem, substituting a more friendly Husky for the rather bestial silhouette of the official insignia!
The cover has two nice strikes of the pictorial First Day of Issue postmark, and the reverse of the cover shows this to be cover #8 of only 10 covers sent to Greenland for servicing.
Get ready, get set . . MUSH!!
