The Falkland Islands located in the South Atlantic Ocean off South America are the perfect destination to experience the wonders of nature and wildlife; an unpolluted environment with fantastically clear blue skies, seamless horizons, vast open spaces and stunning white sand beaches. Wildlife is free to roam and many species have chosen the Islands as their home including gentoo, rockhopper, king and Magellanic penguins, Southern sea lions, elephant seals, fur seals, Commerson’s and Peale’s dolphins, and over 200 species of birds including the majestic albatrosses.
