Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands sit in the South Atlantic roughly 300 miles east of Patagonia — a windswept archipelago of treeless hills, white-sand beaches, and peat bogs under enormous skies. Settlement is sparse; sheep farming and fishing define the economy, and wildlife outnumbers people by a considerable margin.

About Falkland Islands

Overview

Comprising two main islands and several hundred smaller ones, the Falklands are a British Overseas Territory with Stanley as the capital. English is the official language and the pound sterling is used locally, though a Falkland Islands pound also circulates. The population is small — a few thousand — and cultural ties remain firmly British, shaped by generations of pastoral and maritime life in a remote southern latitude.
