On 22 January, Åland Post issues a miniature sheet as part of the joint stamp series "Preserve the Polar Regions and Glaciers".
The Åland contribution features a wind turbine, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the introduction of electricity in Åland.
This miniature sheet features a wind turbine with a flash of lightning in the background. The symbol of this joint issue, an ice crystal, can be seen in the upper left corner. The wind turbine is embossed and the rest of the sheet is supplied with Metal FX effect.
The photography was done by Daniel Eriksson.
120,000 were issued.
The printing method used is: 4-colour offset, partly embossed and with some metal FX.
