2nd edition Published: 14th Dec 18 352 PAGES 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 visitors
alike. New for this edition is a dedicated full-colour wildlife and natural
history section, as well as all the most recent details needed for a smooth
trip, from planning and history to Stanley restaurants and hotels, conservation
issues, wildlife watching trips and how to explore beyond the capital. East and
West Falkland are covered, and so too are Sea Lion, Pebble, 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 truly wild
places in the world, a photographer's delight home to albatrosses, penguins and
other wildlife as well as to over 3,000 people. The Falkland Islands are a
must-visit location for those interested in the wild outdoors, especially anyone
wanting to see penguins, seals and lots more. It's not all about penguins,
though, as the islands' abundant wildlife and spectacular scenery along with
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 the 'camp' with its scattered settlements, long sandy beaches,
isolated islands and rocky outcrops. With Bradt's Falkland Islands you can plan
how to fly between islands, discover the 'camp' (rural areas), visit multiple
penguin colonies, sample a wide range of cakes and cookies at a 'smoko' (morning
or afternoon tea break), watch Black-browed Albatrosses, and visit the
magnificent collection of artefacts and curios from around the islands at the
new Historic Dockyard Museum. Whatever your interest, this is the essential
guide for a successful trip.
