Card No. 18
A small ship chugs through thick and rotten ice. When the bow rises high enough on the ice, the weight of the ship breaks through. Notice the clear channel behind it.
A colour project poster is obtainable from your local food stores or by sending a 33-cent stamp to the nearest Sanitarium Office (addresses on the top of the pack). SWAP with friends or post us one card for any card you need (stating its number) and enclose a stamped, addressed envelope.
To ttach the card to your Antarctic Adventure poster, use either tape or collector's stamp hinges -- available from your newsagent.
