Port Stanley, Falkland Islands
Situated at the far eastern end of the Falklands' largest island, Port Stanley is the capital of this remote archipelago in the South Atlantic, composed of nearly 700 islands and islets. In 1764, Louis Antoine de Bougainville settled the first pioneers here and the port grew rapidly. Placed under the Spanish crown in 1767, then under British sovereignty since 1833, the town has retained some South American features fused with the Victorian style that punctuate the city, and the houses with their colorful roofs brighten the moorland landscapes with their windy and harsh climate reminiscent of the Scottish islands of Orkney or Shetland. In front of the cathedral, built in 1933, an arch made of whale jaw bones reminds us that Port Stanley was once a whaling port. ... Read More
