Desde el año 2008 Venezuela ha realizado tres expediciones científicas consecutivas al continente antártico. Los estudios que se realizaron durante esas tres expediciones, en las que también participa la Armada Venezolana como un componente apoyo logístico, son en el área de hidrografía y para comprobar la presencia de contaminación microbiológica en las aguas de la Antártida. También se realizaron estudios sobre el permafrost con el objetivo de estimar los cambios que han ocurrido a escala global tanto climáticamente como en la composición geoquímica del planeta.
Las dos primeras expediciones se realizaron gracias a la cooperación del Instituto Antártico Uruguayo, el programa Antártico Brasileño y el Instituto Antártico Ecuatoriano. La tercera se hizo como parte de los convenios que se tienen firmados con Ecuador y con Argentina. La cuarta se realizara de conjuntamente con la XV Expedición Ecuatoriana a la Antártida, que se llevará a cabo entre enero y marzo de 2010.
4th Venezuelan Antarctic Expedition
Starting in 2008 Venezuela has been three consecutive scientific expeditions to the Antarctic continent. Studies were conducted during these three expeditions, which also involved the Venezuelan Navy as a logistical component, are in hydrography and for the presence of microbiological contamination in the waters of Antarctica. Studies were also carried on permafrost in order to estimate the changes that have occurred globally in both climatic and geochemical composition of the planet.
The first two expeditions were conducted with the cooperation of the Uruguayan Antarctic Institute, the Brazilian Antarctic Program and the Ecuadorian Antarctic Institute. The third was done as part of agreements that are signed with Ecuador and Argentina. The fourth will be held in conjunction with the XV Ecuadorian Antarctic Expedition, which will take place between January and March 2010.

Esas expediciones se realizaron en el marco del Programa Antártico Venezolano (PAV), coordinado por el Ministerio del Poder Popular para la Ciencia, Tecnología e Industrias Intermedias.
Durante la presentación de la emisión filatélica, el coordinador general del PAV, Ángel Viloria, explicó que la iniciativa es un esfuerzo para divulgar el programa antártico.
El viceministro de Desarrollo Científico y Tecnológico, Jorge Arreaza, señaló que es fundamental que se divulguen los logros de la Revolución mediante medios como las emisiones filatélicas. "Tenemos un satélite en órbita, estamos avanzando en el tema de la energía nuclear con fines pacíficos, hemos incrementado el porcentaje del Producto Interno Bruto que se invierte en la ciencia y tecnología y tenemos instituciones como IPOSTEL que están allí no sólo para brindar un servicio, sino para difundir las políticas y los logros de la Revolución", enfatizó.
New Issue: Venezuela in Antarctica
The Postal and Telegraph Institute of Venezuela IPOSTEL put into service on December 21, 2010 the issuance Venezuela in Antarctica, which outlines the Venezuelan scientific expeditions in Antactica. The issue comprises of 10 postage stamps in miniature sheet format.
These expeditions were conducted in the framework of the Venezuelan Antarctic Program (PAV), coordinated by the Ministry of Popular Power for Science, Technology and Intermediate Industries.
During the presentation of the stamp issue, the general coordinator of the PAV, Angel Viloria, said the initiative is an effort to publicize the Antarctic Program.
Vice Minister of Science and Technology Development, Jorge Arreaza, said it was essential to disseminate the achievements of the Revolution through such means as philatelic issues. "We have a satellite in orbit, we are moving in the field of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, we have increased the percentage of gross domestic product invested in science and technology and institutions as IPOSTEL we are there not only to provide a service but to disseminate the policies and achievements of the Revolution" he said.
