Hal Vogel, Professor Emeritus, Rowan University, discusses Polar Philately and the Wilkes Antarctic Expedition. Dr. Hal Vogel is a leading polar philatelist and the winner of the American Philatelic Society’s Luff Award for Distinguished Philatelic Research. He began collecting polar materials and studying polar history in the 1950s, when he began communicating with some of the last pre-WWII polar explorers. He continued this work while later pursuing his doctorate in Polar Studies in the Department of History and Geography at Antioch University. While completing his degree, he began writing a research column for Ice Cap News, the publication of the American Society of Polar Philatelists (ASPP) and has written a column for every issue since 1974. Including the articles for this column, he has published more than 300 polar history, aerophilatelic, military postal history and polar philatelic articles in philatelic journals in the United States, Norway, Great Britain, Germany, France, Australia, and New Zealand.
