In 1972 Denmark got a queen - Queen Margrethe 2. Greenland was the first part of Denmark to issue stamps with the Queen. The first ones were issued at her birthday April the 16th 1973.

Besides the series with the Queen the series with pictures from the nature of Greenland continued.

Commerative Stamps

To help the people, who had sufferered from the volcanic eruption at Heimaey - an island by Iceland - both Denmark and Greenland issued stamps with a surplus.

A series about the ways the postal services in Greenland works or have worked began to be issued in 1975.

In 1975 it was time for celebrating the sledge-patrol - Sirius - which is a part of the Danish army. The sledge-patrol has existed for 25 years and is related to a Danish sledge-patrol 1940 - 1945, which captured some German soldiers.
