King penguin rookery, Volunteer Point Falkland Islands
King Penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) are the second largest species of penguin and occur on the Falkland Islands and more commonly on the Subantarctic islands in the Southern Ocean. They have to come to land to breed and to moult.
King Penguins have a prolonged breeding cycle and take 14-16 months from laying to fledging. Their brown fluffy chicks are known as “Oakum Boys” because their down looks like the oakum used by sailors to caulk the hulls of wooden boats. This rookery of about 1000 birds is at Volunteer Point, East Falkland. ANT2015-4-260

Riding Rough in the Falkland Islands
Four travellers are being taken over rough countryside in an 4x4 vehicle to see a remote penguin rookery. As this video is being taken, the car lurches violently, and the driver - referring the the fact that one of his passengers is a 'man of the cloth' - says, You've GOT to forgive me for the strenuousness of the ride.

Falkland Islands | A Journey to the Bottom of the Earth
Come along on a journey to the bottom of the earth on my two week trip to the Falkland Islands. I assembled this video to show you what I saw and hopefully, I can make you feel, at least a little bit, the way I did when leaving the Falklands.
And for those of you who might not know that much about the Falkland Islands, I also added a real brief history of the islands and a little bit about the Falklands War.
The Falkland Islands are one of those rare places left where you can escape the modern world. Located 300 miles to the east of the bottom tip of South America. Their remote location has left the Falklands a place for one of a kind wildlife encounters.
Of all the places we’ve visited in recent years the Falklands are unlike any of the others – and I think that is was what I grew to love about the Falklands the most.

Best Places to Visit in Falkland Islands
Covering an area of around 7,500 square kilometers in the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean, the Falkland Islands - Islas Malvinas to the Argentinians - encompass some 778 islands. Despite the fact they're only 483 kilometers off the coast of Argentina and 12,000 kilometers from England, the islands are a British Overseas Territory. The two largest islands in the archipelago, West Falkland and East Falkland, are where you'll find the majority of this tiny country's 3,000 or so residents (most of them of British descent).
Despite its remote location - or perhaps because of it - these cold, hilly islands attract a surprising number of tourists. Served by direct flights from the UK and South America, as well as visited by many cruise ships, the Falklands are perfectly situated to tap into the growing demand for tourists visiting the Antarctic. The Falklands' main attraction is undoubtedly its wildlife; it boasts numerous species of birds and marine mammals, along with a number of great tour options that will get you up close to them. Other popular Falkland Island activities include fishing, trekking, hiking, climbing, kayaking, and mountain biking.
