The Falkland Islands archipelago is made up of more than 700 islands and has a hugely varied coastline from rugged coastal cliffs to miles and miles of undisturbed, white sandy beaches. Some of the islands are habited and many welcome day and overnight visitors.
Situated at 52˚ south, just 584 miles (940 km) from Antarctica (Elephant Island), the Falklands are an archipelago consisting of two main islands (East and West Falkland) and over 740 smaller islands ranging from surf-dashed rocks to 40,000-acre farms.
The two main islands are East Falkland and West Falkland, with other smaller islands of varying sizes, some just tiny rocky outcrops or tussac-covered flatlands. East Falkland is home to the capital, Stanley , and most of the Island’s people.
The Falkland Islands are home to many best-loved species - the iconic king penguin, the feisty rockhopper and the noisy gentoos to name but a few. Find out the best places to view them all!
