Christmas came early this year when the Åland Islands issued a set of two stamps for the Christmas season on 20 Oct 2022. One of the stamps is for domestic mail and the one pictured here is for international postage. It features Sälskär Lighthouse. This lighthouse which dates from 1868 is located on an island in the northern part of the Åland Islands.

On 23 July 2021 Åland Post issued postal material commemorating the 2021 Tall Ship Races.  There is a single stamp which appears to show Sälskär Lighthouse at the right center between the spars of the sailing ship. There is also a postal card which depicts Marhällan Lighthouse.
