This is my first mail from French Territories in the Antarctic! Cover was traveling very long time, but it's finally here!
This is FDC François Tabuteau, 1921-2000, issued on 17.04.2015.
After his studies at the Collège de Clermont, he prepares the Naval Academy and then passes the tests of EOR (Reserve Officers Pupils) in Algiers in 1943, became an officer in the "Transat" and Master Mariner in 1948. Detached from Transat in July 1949, he participated in the first trip and the first two Charcot Antarctic expeditions of Paul Emile Victor in Terre Adélie in Port Martin in 1950 and 1951, as hydrographer, observer Astronomical and navigator.
After his return, he wrote in 1955 a novel Yaka, with preface by Paul Emile Victor, which tells the real life of a little dog Terre Adélie among a group of explorers in this polar universe.
Thank You very much Axel!
