This new, thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt’s Falkland Islands remains the only standalone guide to this British Overseas Territory and is ideal for both independent and cruise-ship visitors alike. It includes all the most recent details needed for a smooth trip, including information on planning, Stanley restaurants and hotels, conservation issues, wildlife-watching trips, history and how to explore beyond the capital. East and West Falkland are covered and so too are Bleaker, Kidney, Sea Lion, Pebble, New, West Point, Carcass, Saunders, Keppel, Weddell, Staats and Beaver islands.
Situated in the South Atlantic Ocean, over 300 miles from South America, the Falkland Islands are one of the world’s truly wild places. A photographer’s delight and a must-visit location for those interested in the wild outdoors, they are home to albatross, penguin, seal and other abundant wildlife as well as over 3,400 people.
It’s not all about penguins, though, as the islands’ spectacular scenery, comfortable accommodation, good wholesome food and welcoming people create a wonderful place to visit. The thriving town of Stanley gives way to the wild open spaces of camp with its scattered settlements, long sandy beaches, isolated islands and rocky outcrops. History enthusiasts will be in their element, too, visiting sites ranging from the islands’ first British settlement to areas that were significant during the 1982 war.
With Bradt’s Falkland Islands you can plan how to fly between islands, discover camp (rural areas), visit multiple penguin colonies, sample smoko (a wide range of cakes and cookies, served during a morning or afternoon tea break), watch black-browed albatross and visit the magnificent collection of artefacts and curios from around the islands at Stanley’s new Historic Dockyard Museum. Whatever your interest, this is the essential guide for a successful trip.
