	Falkland Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Falkland Islands are an archipelago in the South Atlantic continental shelf consisting of two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland, and a number of smaller islands.
		This conflict is called the Falklands War in English, and 14 June is Liberation Day on the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
		The most convincing of these claims is the existence of the Falkland Island fox or Warrah, possibly descended from the South American culpeo used as hunting dogs by the Yaghan people of Tierra del Fuego.

		The total population of the islands at 1991 was estimated at 2100.
		The fact that the islands are 100% populated by English speaking "Kelpers" (about 1800 of them), who prefered to remain under British rule notwithstanding, virtually every child in Argentina was made to believe that the islands are Argentine, and that this "imperialistic injustice" ought to be reversed.
		General Mario Menendez is proclaimed military governor of the islands, and as Galtieri predicted, the move proves to be extremely popular: In Buenos Aires, where the unions had a week earlier demonstrated against the government, there are massive outbursts of solidarity in the streets.

	Transport in the Falkland Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Be aware, however, that passenger load may be reduced depending on the condition of the airstrips being visited; outside of Stanley, all airstrips in the Falklands are either dirt strips or grassy fields.
		Note that unless the plane is flying to an island with a very poor landing strip there are almost never space constraints that would prevent traveling with a few extra kilos of baggage.
		For large groups it may be possible to charter a boat in advance, thus providing a great way to visit some of the less-traveled islands (be aware that per-passenger landing fees are charged on many of the islands; contact the island's owner before visiting).
