Two of our landings in the Falkland Islands were at West Point and Port Stanley. West Point is a small, privately-owned island. We stopped here mainly to see the Rockhopper penguin and Black-browed albatross breeding colonies (see the Penguin and Albatross galleries). Port Stanley is the capital of the Falklands and its major city. We stopped to visit the town and a wildlife refuge called Gypsy Cove where we saw Magellanic penguins nesting amongst unsettling reminders of the war. The beaches were blocked by barbed-wire fences indicating remnant minefields and bomb-disposal activities from the 1982 war between Argentina and the UK.
