	Welcome to the Falkland Islands - Natural History
		The Falkland Islands were visited by Charles Darwin in the 19th Century and, like the Galapagos, were found by him to contain examples of flora and fauna not found elsewhere.
		Common here in the islands, yet approaching extinction throughout the rest of the world, are species such as the striated caracara and the ruddy-headed goose, tame enough to make for some superb photo opportunities.
		Black-throated finches, endemic to the islands, siskins, Falkland thrushes, Cobb's and grass wrens and tussacbirds are around all year around, as are both the striated and crested caracara.

		By 1857 Flat Islands had a population of 210 and nine of the sixteen surnames represented in the community originated in Conception Bay.
		Flat Islands represented an area of some considerable genetic and cultural diversity mainly because the population settling there from Conception Bay were descended from a somewhat different stock of British immigrants than those of Salvage and Barrow Harbour, or of Bonavista, Kings Cove, Keels and the Greenspond area.
		It also reflected the increased trend of the Flat Islands labour force to be employed in carpentry, construction and woodswork on the Newfoundland mainland and elsewhere.

		Colonel Saunders' bombardment directive from Admiral McCain was both general and concise: to hit Tulagi and Guadalcanal Islands with maximum strength from 31 Jul to 6 Aug, inclusive.
		Although the advanced field on Espiritu Santo Island was reported ready, Colonel Saunders was skeptical as to its service facilities and decided to open his attack from Efate Island, 710 nautical miles (1,315 km) from the target at Guadalcanal.
		Headquarters was at Efate Island, New Hebrides Island, but Colonel Saunders maintained a command post on Espiritu Santo Island and flew part of his headquarters personnel there on 10 Aug. Nandi, the most rearward of the bases, was clean and quiet and served as a rest area and a convenient place for engine changes.

		The Falklands are a far-flung group of islands lying in the south Atlantic, most of them small, barren, and uninhabited, which boast an abundance of wildlife (some of it not found further south), a fascinating history - both ancient and recent, and wild and wonderful wilderness vistas.
		This in turn enables these islands to sustain moorland vegetation of ferns and grasses sufficient to support not only a varied marine and bird population, but also herds of sheep and cattle.
		It is from this island that Sir Ernest Shackleton set out for South Georgia in a small boat in 1916, undertaking one of the most remarkable sailing journeys of all time and returning 132 days later to rescue his men.

		The Falkland Islands [1] are a group of about 200 sub-antarctic islands in the south Atlantic Ocean, off the east coast of southern South America.
		On the outlying islands credit cards will probably not be accepted, although British and American currency may be taken; check with the owners in advance to determine what is an acceptable payment method.
		For serious injuries the costs of being airlifted out of the islands are quite high, and the government may therefore require that you have travel insurance sufficient to cover the costs of a medical evacuation.

		Sea Lion Island is one of the smallest in the Falklands archipelago, and the most southerly inhabited island, but is still the prime destination with the sheer abundance of wildlife in such a small area making it a must on any Falklands itinerary.
