The Falkland Islands (/ˈfɔːlklənd/; Spanish: Islas Malvinas, pronounced [ˈislas malˈβinas]) is an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean on the Patagonian Shelf. The principal islands are about 300 miles (480 kilometres) east of South America's southern Patagonian coast and about 752 miles (1,210 kilometres) from the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, at a latitude of about 52°S. The archipelago, with an area of 4,700 square miles (12,000 square kilometres), comprises East Falkland, West Falkland, and 776 smaller islands. As a British overseas territory, the Falklands have internal self-governance, and the United Kingdom takes responsibility for their defence and foreign affairs. The capital and largest settlement is Stanley on East Falkland. The islands lie on the boundary of the subantarctic oceanic and tundra climate zones, and both major islands have mountain ranges reaching 2,300 feet (700 m). They are home to large bird populations, although many no longer breed on the main islands due to predation by introduced species. Major economic activities include fishing, tourism and sheep farming, with an emphasis on high-quality wool exports

Day 8

elephant island, antarctica

Arrival: 00:00 - Departure: 00:00

Elephant Island is the most arctic of the South Shetland Islands, in Antarctica. The name of the Elephant Island can be attributed both to its elephant-head shape, and to the first explorers, who sought to observe the elephant seals on its shores. The island is almost completely covered in glaciers. It is a migratory site for penguins including chinstraps in addition to sea elephants. The lack of secure anchorage prevented any permanent human settlement, although the island is well situated for scientific and fishing activities. The weather here is generally cloudy, with lots of snow and wind.
