Falkland Islands - 2 of 3 PENGUINS

WE HAD A PENGUIN ADVENTURE HERE

4,700 sq miles of beauty. A British Territory that is self-governed with wonderful people that albeit remote, are very educated and love living here (and a nice house is only $200k).

With its strategic location (before there was a Panama Canal), Port Stanley in the Falklands specialized in ship repairs for ships traveling through the rough waters of the Straits of Magellan. The Falklands had significance to the UK thru history as it is the closest UK ownership to islands and sections around Antarctica. It also had a role in both WW as there were military bases here helping control the South Atlantic. Many of us know of the Falklands due to the 1982 Falklands War with Argentina, which ended 2 months later but tension between Argentina and the UK grew and remains. It took 10 years after the war to remove the 30,000 mines that were planted by the Argentines (in the road we drove on today).
