Germany: Lufthansa Special Flight LH 2572 Munich, Germany -> Mount Pleasant (Port Stanley) (Falkland Islands)

This cover traveled aboard a Lufthansa special charter flight from Munich, Germany to Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, 'arriving' on March 12, 2025 (Port Stanley Philatelic Service Postmark). Originally scheduled for March 10, the flight was delayed by one day due to a strike at Munich Airport (lower black cachet). The aircraft carried scientific personnel on behalf of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI). This personnel was en route to board the German research vessel Polarstern, which would bring them to Neumayer Station III in Antarctica for the institute’s 2025 expedition season.
