Consisting of approximately 770 islands, the Falkland Islands, or Islas Malvinas, cover 12,173 square kilometres (approximately half the size of Wales). Located the same distance to the South Pole as London is to the North Pole, the Falklands are a Sovereign State of the United Kingdom. These days, the windswept and treeless islands have a very English feel, as the majority of Islanders are of British descent. On a Falkland Islands tour with Bunnik Tours, you can discover king penguins and elephant seals on Carcass Island, soak in the surreal mountain scapes on Saunders Island, and explore the Victorian-era charm in Port Stanley.
