Falkland Islands
The Falklands Islands (Islas Malvinas) is a south Atlantic archipelago and contains two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland. It is located about 400km northeast of Tierra del Fuego and so while it’s the southern-most point of South America, the Falklands are a stronghold of British culture and traditions. The Falklands are known for their wildlife (penguins and bird species are plentiful) as well as the dramatic history. Sovereignty disputes between the United Kingdom and Argentina led to the 1982 Falklands War. Port Stanley is the capital of the Falkland Islands and like any quintessential British towns, Stanley offers a smattering of pubs, churches and small museums. It is the perfect stopover for anyone keen to learn more about the maritime history of the Falklands.
Vast open spaces, a broad variety of spectacular wildlife and white sandy beaches will greet you in the Falklands. Known as a birdwatcher’s paradise, over 80% of the world’s population of black-browed albatross can be found on Steeple Jason Island. The most famous of the Falklands’ bird life are the penguins – the Magellanic, Gentoo, Rockhopper and King Penguin. The islands are considered the most important world site for Rockhopper Penguins. Fur Seals, Elephant Seals and Sea Lions can also all be found breeding on the islands’ many shores. The Falklands are one of the last “off the beaten track” destination and is a true wildlife haven.
