Travel The Falkland islands

Situated to the southeast of South America, close to the Antarctic and Cap Horn, the Falklands Islands were discovered by a Spanish expedition in 1520. More than 200 years later, sailors from Saint-Malo settled in the land, and named the islands after their country. These Saint-Malo natives were later chased off by the Spanish. The islands were later populated before Argentina set up a penal colony. Great Britain conquered the islands in 1833. Dotted with grass tufts, deep inside a grey and often agitated sea, these pieces of land buried in the middle of the Atlantic are home to auks, albatrosses and killer whales...
