Falkland Islands
The Falkland Islands, known to the Argentines as Islas Malvinas, is a romantically wild archipelago in the south Atlantic Ocean, where you can visit the quirky British outpost of Port Stanley, rich in history and wildlife.
South Georgia, a mountainous and slightly crescent-shaped island, is known for its diverse wildlife, glaciers, and fjords.
A stop on South Georgia Island is a popular inclusion on an Antarctica tour, since it’s the best place to see the massive king penguin colony at Salisbury Plain, as well as thousands of fur and elephant seals and an abundance of bird species. Thankfully, the king penguin (the second-largest penguin species) nests year-round, so you don’t have to factor in the breeding season when choosing the “right” time of year to visit South Georgia; there’s always an excellent chance of seeing thousands upon thousands of these curious penguins in one colony. South Georgia has only a handful of temporary inhabitants, primarily researchers and scientists, which is far less than neighboring Falkland Islands at about 2,900 permanent residents.
