Canada

1933, BACHE PENINSULA N.W.T., Canadian Arctic, cover bearing UPU Congress 5c. blue obliterated by killer mark and c.d.s. "AP 12 33" alongside to Winnipeg, Manitoba, transported with RCMP Dog Sled to Craig Harbour/Ellesmere Island, further by S.S. "NASCOPIE" with boxed cachet mark "SEP 7 1933" and St.Johns 28.9.33 receiver on reverse; envelope opened at two sides/roughly at top. BACHE PENINSULA Arctic station had no other purpose than to confirm Canada's claims on this Arctic area, and in the six years of its existence it was reached only three times by supply missions; mail is extremely rare. (N.B.: the used stamp was issued on 18 May 1933 which raises the question where and when it was applied)
