Explore Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands

Politics, Culture and Cuisine of the Falkland Islands

Though the Falklands' history has been influenced by the French, Spanish, Argentineans, and British, it is British culture that prevails in the islands today.

Exquisite Antarctica

In Antarctica, I spent 13 days skiing in heavy snowbanks, kayaking with different types of whales and hiking my way through the mountains and waterways.
