This issue replaced the
1967 Ross Dependency
Decimal Pictorials as the new definitive set and remained in
circulation until the
1982 Ross
Dependency 25th Anniversary of Scott Base stamps were issued. Although
not a commemorative issue, the stamps were issued on the 60th Anniversary
of Scott's Polar Party reaching the South Pole on January 18th,
1912.

In January 1979
a new printing of the same designs on new plates was issued on thinner
white chalky paper with a PVA surface adhesive which appears dull compared
to the shiny Gum Arabic used on the original stamps. The colours used are
also slightly different - most notably on the four and eight cent stamps -
and the paper used in the first printing is cream coloured when compared
against the 1979 printing.
