We have also reached the second part of our series ‘Ethnographic photographs from Greenland’.

The series has been created in collaboration with Ina Rosing. Both stamps are printed in offset on self-adhesive paper in sheets of 10 identical stamps.

The series on Greenlandic dog sleds concludes with two stamps designed by Konrad Nuka Godtfredsen. On this occasion the North Greenland sled is featured which, in many respects, resembles the West Greenland sled depicted on the stamps that launched the series back in 2024. The stamps are issued in sheets of 10 identical stamps printed in offset.

28th March also on 8th and 23rd May
The National Dog Sledding Championship is Greenland’s most prestigious dog sled race.

Both stamps are printed in offset in sheets of 10 identical stamps. Moreover, both stamps are issued in a stamp booklet printed on self-adhesive paper. The issue date is 8th May.

Every year Tusass Greenland issues an additional value stamp in aid of a cultural or social cause in Greenland. In 2026, the Armargivat shelter in Tasiilaq will be favoured with a stamp. It is issued in sheets of 10 identical stamps, a souvenir sheet and an attractive souvenir folder.

Aasivik means ’summer gathering’ or ’summer camp’ in Greenlandic and in traditional Greenlandic culture refers to the settlements where the Inuit gathered and lived in the summer. In 1976, a new Aasivik tradition took root in Greenland, whereby Greenlandic young people met for an annual summer camp to discuss important topics concerning Greenlandic identity. We are marking the 50th anniversary of the first Aasivik of the modern era with a captivating stamp by Ivínguak’ Stork Høegh. The stamp is printed in offset and issued in sheets of 10 identical stamps.

A total solar eclipse is due to occur on 12th August. It will pass across Northeast Greenland before continuing on to Iceland and Spain. Numerous expeditions are planned to view the phenomenon from Greenland and Iceland where the moon’s shadow, for example, hits the Blosse-ville coast. We are marking this lunar event with a superb stamp by Malene Guldager Olsen, who will be making her long-awaited stamp debut. The offset stamp will be issued in sheets of 10 identical stamps.

Since 2020, Tusass has successfully rolled out Coding Class throughout Greenland, whereby primary and secondary school students learn coding and technological understanding. The aim is to promote digital skills and innovation, culminating in annual championships. In 2023, the streaming service Tusass Music was developed and launched to support Greenlandic musicians, in collaboration with the company Tunes Global. The aim is to afford Greenlandic artists better earnings by bringing their music together on one platform with a unique user-centred distribution model that ensures that subscribers’ payments go directly to the artists they listen to. We are marking both events with two stamps designed by the young artist Maja-Lisa Kehlet. The stamps are issued in sheet of 10 identical stamps.

Paarma Olsvig Brandt has designed this year’s two Christmas stamps. This is the third time this visual artist has tried her hand at stamp art. The Christmas stamps will also be issued in a stamp booklet printed on self-adhesive paper.
