The Gomajou Peninsula
The Gomajou Peninsula (Presqu'île de Gomajou), situated on the scenic coast of Anjouan (Nzwani), is one of the island's notable natural geographic landmarks. Characterized by lush tropical vegetation, volcanic rocky outcrops jutting into the Indian Ocean, and framed by swaying coconut palms, the peninsula showcases the distinct, dramatic coastal geography that defines the volcanic landscapes of the Comoros Archipelago.
To highlight regional geographic landscapes across the islands, the postal administration of the Comoros Archipelago (Archipel des Comores) issued a dedicated airmail series (POSTE AERIENNE). Designed by P. Lambert, this 60-franc black-bordered stamp captures a view of the Presqu'île de Gomajou on Anjouan through palm fronds looking out toward the ocean, celebrating the natural beauty and tropical scenery of the island.
