MNH ~ Miniature Sheet !

One stamp shows a brilliant-red deep-sea jellyfish, the Crossota millsaeare, a species that was just recently discovered on a subarctic polar expedition.

The jellyfish appears in actual size-about the size of your thumb !

The second stamp features a male king eider with a bright orange bill, light grey crown and pale emerald green cheeks. The king eider is considered circumpolar. Native to Canada, Alaska and Greenland, its migratory patterns are being studied as part of the 2007/08 IPY.
