Falkland Islands are located in the Southern Atlantic Ocean, close to Antarctica. The islands were first inhabited by people from South America around 3200 BC, when they were likely discovered by Polynesians. It is one of the few places on Earth that does not have native trees and you’ll find a variety of wildlife here – penguins and seals for example. The Falkland Islands are often referred to as the part of Great Britain that is farthest south. The islands are home to about three-hundred-thousand people and fifty thousand sheep, so there are lots of sheep farms. On this list, we’ll be going over some things you should know about this beautiful part of the world before you go.

1. There’s no natural water source on the Falkland Islands, so there are wells and cisterns to get water from.

2. The sea around the islands is really cold, but it’s not sharky either!

3. Nearly all of the sheep don’t live on one farm, but on many farms. They’re just too darn cute!

4. As you may know, one of the largest sheep farms here is called South Georgia and they have 5,000 sheep.

5. You’ll find a lot of whales here, as well as dolphins, penguins and albatrosses!

6. The Falkland Islands are home to many types of wildlife that you might not see anywhere else in the world, so it’s a great place for people who love wildlife too! If you want to go on a boat tour here, you can expect to see 60 different species of birds and 90 different species of fish! And be sure to bring your camera!

7. It will cost you about $750-$900 per person if you want to do a naturalist boat trip here – it’s an expensive trip, but lots of fun too.

8. One of the biggest problems in the Falkland Islands is that there aren’t enough natural predators to control the rabbit and rat population.

9. The islands are home to lots of penguins, but they only exist here and on a few other islands in the whole world! They’re also home to many different types of reptiles, about sixty types of fish and lots of molluscs and crustaceans like mussels, whelks and oysters!

10. There’s been some talk of taking a ship from Uruguay to this island near Antarctica, but it’s probably not going happen for a long time because the trip would take about two weeks!
