Aurora Borealis on QR Code - 2012, Iceland

QR code on a postage stamp, don't be surprised. Iceland Post in 2012  released a stamp portraying their major tourist attraction Northern lights combined with QR code as part of their "Visit Iceland" - EUROPA stamps series. EUROPA stamps are special stamps issued by European postal administrations/enterprises and bears the official EUROPA logo. Till date there are 52 members part of the PostEurop trade association and it continues to grow every year.


Iceland post being the first to combine a motif with a QR code is an excellent representation of embracing technology and exhibiting the main intent, tourism in a crisp and simpler way.

Aurora, ( Northern lights ) one of the important tourist attractions of Iceland could be the best choice for anyone who craves for natural and wonderful atmospheric phenomenon with patterns of green, blue, yellow and pink lights gliding in the cold winter sky.

Initially I didn't want back to back blogs featuring the same country but due to the uniqueness and simplicity of this stamp I can't resist.
