Single $4.90 'In Memory of Professor Craig Cary May 1954 - February 2024' gummed stamp.
Like early Antarctic explorers, scientists working on the mountain are pushing frontiers. Perched in Mt Erebus’s western crater, Professor Craig Cary carefully installs a bacterial culturing and temperature array in a 2-metre-deep hole drilled in a high-temperature geothermal site.
