Åland - Sepac

Date of Issue: 16th September 2009

one stamp (Europa value)



Saltvik is the largest municipality in Åland, located in the north-eastern parts of main Åland. The most elevated parts of Åland started emerging from the sea 10 000 years ago. Today’s highest hills in Åland were first to appear as tiny skerries in the horizon. The first settlers came to Åland from the east 6 000 years ago. They settled in what is today known as Saltvik. The Saltvik stamp motif was photographed by Andy Horner and shows the view from the highest hill in Åland, Orrdals klint. Below the hill, we see the Saltvik archipelago stretching out.

The Vatnajökull National Park is the largest national park in Europe. It encompasses an area of 12.000 km2 or approximately 11% of Iceland. It will at first cover the national parks of Skaftafell and Jökulsárgljúfur and almost all of Vatnajökull glacier. The region contains a uniquely contrasting blend of natural beauty, active volcanism, geothermal energy and waterfalls. The creeping glaciers dominate the area – making it the easiest part of Iceland for glacier exploration. Skaftafell has some of the most diverse flora and fauna found in any part of the country, with protected species including growing stocks of Arctic fox and ptarmigan.
