British Antarctic Territory
Scott 1-15
 Stamps of
the Falkland Islands were used on South Georgia from 1909 until 1944 and on the South Shetlands
from 1912 to 1931. Stamps of the Falkland Islands with values higher than one shilling were
used in the Dependencies from 1944 until 1954 when the Dependencies issued their own high value
stamps.
In 1962, the Falkland Islands Dependencies became restricted to
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. At this time Graham Land, the South Orkneys,
the South Shetlands, Alexander I Land and the part of Coats Land belonging to the dependencies
became a separate colony, the British Antarctic Territory.
