The Falklands consist of 778 islands (see below), of which one is Carcass Island in the Northwestern corner. As usual it is windy and desolate, but there are people living here. Not many, but a child was happy in a swing while tourists filed past on their way to see more penguins.
The path to the penguin beach is about four kilometres (below) and the wind is a constant companion.
At the beach both Magellanic (below left) and gentoo (below right) penguins enjoy the winds.
Other birds present include the upland goose (below left) and the Magellanic oystercatcher (below right). All the birds mostly ignore the humans marching by.
The beaches might look attractive, but the wind makes them suitable only for penguins. And it is only 11 degrees.
