Visit the Falklands for its wildlife. Imagine: a piece of land, free of houses and tourist buses, and there on the shore, colonies of penguins, sea elephants, a killer whale and its baby passing in the water, a few dolphins and, in the sky, albatrosses flying majestically. All the islands have the same look. The biggest and most accessible to visitors are New Island and Carcass in the western part of the archipelago.
