I watched this 6 months ago when I lived in England, this inspired my family to want to go even more. Now I'm living in Stanley Falklands. It's as beautiful as he says it is.
I’ve spent nearly 4 years on the island since 1989 and the changes I’ve seen are incredible. It’s gone from a very post war building site to a vibrant tourism spot. The wildlife is incredible and a photographers (me too) dream. The video is a superb little snapshot
Jayden Jordan the islands and the people are incredible. The landscape are not the hilliest most mountainous but they have a ruggedness that’s quite magnificent. The wildlife is one of the biggest draws it is better than video can describe. I love the place and will get back as soon as I can
Jayden Jordan it has its #hare of nonsense but it’s pretty controlled by the islanders and 5he local police. The fact the almost everyone knows everyone else is a bonus
@@jaydenjordan7127 of course they're bothered by criminals. There is police force there but very little crime however if you have a criminal record you would find it very difficult entering the islands.
Similarly New Zealand has these kinda looking bits of land Where its just ocean then rolling hills of nothingness/fields of grass and sheep but yes also we have forests with trees rivers and what not
To see the Falklands in such a beautiful state is so different from watching it on a tiny black & white TV during the war. Great to see how peaceful and content the people, fauna and the islands look now.
Well put, most of my knowledge was regarding the war. It's amazing to see the place the way it is meant to be seen. The respect paid to both sides at the memorials is touching.

You’re right they are very special. I was fortunate enough to be deployed to the Falklands on three occasions between 1990 and 2007 whilst in the British Forces. Fantastic memories, I do hope Roddy and Lilly are well as I recalled staying with them for one night as I was met the following morning by one of the first cruise ships, the Enterprise as I recall. I sat on the beach after Roddy made me breakfast and was joined by the Carracarra whilst I waited to be picked up by a small craft before boarding the cruise ship and over night making our way to Stanley - amazing place with people I still call friends. Thank you for sharing. 👌
Similar latitude to northern England, but due to the strong westerly airflow around Antarctica, the climate is colder, similar from stats I've seen to say the Shetlands, to the north of Scotland. A typical Summer's day in Stanley averages 14-16 deg C, Winter about 4-6 deg C. Both island groups are windswept and treeless.
With the constant harassment the Falklanders face from Argentina, they love someone like you showing to the world what the Falklands really are, so British.
Beautiful Falkland Island . When the war broke out in 1982, we were in New Zealand and troops were sent for the war . I was looking for a video of Falkland Island . This is real concise excellent one covering all the Islands .
I served 4 months in the RAF in The Falklands in 1992. I loved it. Spent 4 days with a family they were lovely people and treated me like a son.....God bless them.
@Juan Ignacio Davidson you have some tourist attractions. Just be ready to do some driving around. Penguins, elephant seals big birds of prey. The battlefield tours. Ship wrecks. Certainly worth a visit.
I find is astonishing just how similar the Falklands are to the west coast of Scotland. Apart from the colourful tin roofs, the penguins and the sea lions there would be no way of telling them apart. The climate and clouds, the gorse, the sheep, the colour of the grass and silver sand, the type of rock, the heather and peat (I didn’t even know peat existed outside of Scotland!), the what we would call “lochans” basically small ponds in the peat, the cold, deep blue of the water and the white foam when it crashes over the yellow lichen covered coastline, the empty sandy beaches and dunes, the species of seaweed, the old land rovers bumping over tiny moorland tracks, and even the windswept fences crisscrossing the landscape. Fascinating.
Peat is also very common in the West of Ireland, i used to stay on a farm there as a nipper, and they would use peat for everything, cooking, heating , this was in the early 80's
Visited the Faklklands in 2015. This is a most excellent and beautiful documentary! Of all the places, it's the small homes with baby lambs kept in the yard (for bottle feeding) and the farm kitchens and cozy pubs. At one of these in Stanley, I asked the barman some history questions; he suggested I go ask one of the patrons and I introduced myself and was invited by the elder patron to join him for lunch. He was Governor Rex Hunt's driver when the invasion of 1982 occurred. I listened to his story, but the 1982 conflict was the least of his memories: he sailed for years in a trawler protecting transatlantic convoys during WW2. As understated as the Islands themselves.The people and the wildlife of the Falklands are beautiful: no desire but to live where they live in harmony with all. Don't miss the accurate to scale model of the solar system which extends many hundreds of meters along a trail by the shipwreck bay, with a sun the size of a huge beachball and an earth the size of a small marble!
what a beautiful tour. I think a lot of us reminisce about the safe community of English villages that used to exist. That still exists here. I wish it was just a little bit warmer!!!
@panfriedd You're just a hater, I've seen several comments of yours and you need to stop. People are telling their family stories who the fuck are you to tell them anything.
Geat video, I was stationed here years ago and its great to see the memories flooding back. The road from Mount Pleasant to Stanley and the stone run mountains as you approach Stanley are absolutely stunning. The view at the top of Mount Kent looking down is unforgettable.
I worked in Stanley 2014 till May 2018. All I can say is a beautiful and peaceful country. I still remember we made a snow carving (pokemon, family penguin, a tall lion and a dragon) along the Ross road east.
My grandad fought in the falklands war in 1982 and his still alive to share his stories. I was born in 1981. Thanks for sharing it looks beautiful and I’m So glad we was able to keep our territory. They’re just as British as we are on the mainland 🇬🇧
Ive just looked at a job Ad for a teacher in Falkland Islands. I felt I needed to look up life on the Falkland Islands. Well.... this video sold it for me!!! Thanks for sharing.
Great footage of the islands in genral, but I would liked to have also seen what life is like in the small towns. Meet the people and see what the shops and stores are like. Street scenes would have also been nice.
I've just come back from a two week trip to FI visiting family. My brother settled there after meeting and marrying a local 15 years ago whilst on a TOD with the Royal Navy. Loved it and loved the wildlife. And the STARS! Wow! Coming from a heavily light polluted Europe, I was in awe of the super starry nights and being able to clearly see the edge of the Milky Way on a clear night; beautiful! Wasn't too keen on the bumpy roads but you can't have everything
My friends fought for Las Malvinas, but told me they really had no attachment there. Now, I see how beautiful it is. I guess few Argentines live there, but it is best that it stay as it is. Wonderful video!
This was a great video, thank you! Like most people here I too would love to visit the Falklands. I really appreciated the time you took explaining Wendle island as well, great stuff. Subscribed 👍
After Britain abandoned the islands Spain occupied them. They were under Spanish rule, specifically under the viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata. When they gained independence all those territories formed part of a new country. Once most territories were settled properly, the falklands came under Argentinian control. The problem they had was that they couldn’t defend the islands due to internal problems, such as civil wars. So the British saw a window and decided to reoccupy them. Now I’m not stating that it should be British or Argentinian, just a better explanation of the history
I assume you're Argentinian. What do you think of things that were taught in school about these Islands are Argentinian are valid? For example, one argument is that the islands are a part of the same tectonic plates. I am not British. I am Asian from the USA and I speak Spanish too. My understanding is that the islands obviously not Argentinian. It's seems a lot of Pro-Argentina arguments are somewhat illlogical
al4sake first of all, don’t assume that I’m an Argentinian. You couldn’t be further from the truth. Second, I didn’t use the argument that the islands should be Argentinian as they are on the same tectonic plate (honestly, I didn’t know where u were going at with that). There arguments aren’t illogical. Britain’s arguments either. That’s why the case is so difficult. It’s one of the few relics of the old British empire still under control. And it’s the last place in all of Latin America that hasn’t gained independence. It’s illogical that in the 21st century a European power still has an overseas territory in Latin America. Ps. USA kicked out Argentina from the islands, search it up
I visited the Falklands in 1986 as a serving member of the british army. Stationed at Mount Pleasant, I had a very special time there or my 104 day tour. I visited Sea Lion Island, and stayed on Saunders Island. my daily trip from camp was to Mare harbour where I fished, walked and even took a skinny dip in the ocean from Bertha's beach. While I was out for a run I noticed a pod of Commerson's dolphins following me in the surf! I dived into the surf and the dolphins swam away. It was one of my coldest swims I can remember. It was a surreal experience being there after the war working and but also having lots of free time to explore the Islands. Thank you for your video, It brought back fond memories of my time there all those years ago.
Downvotes from Argentinians who can't accept the fact that the U.K has claimed the Falklands before they were even a country. And the inhabitants mostly descended from people who moved to the island hundreds of years ago want the status quo.
@@roannalloyd7288 I was just hoping that throughout the video the person presenting it would've interacted with the local people. How do you say have a nice day in your language?
What a great video! I loved how you want to several places there not just Port Stanley. The photography and editing are both top notch! It seems like the weather was clear while you were there. I heard there is a lot of rain and it’s very cold. The scenery looked beautiful. Weird to think of visiting a place where maybe no human has ever set foot at least on parts of the islands.
Brilliant video. Honest and unbiased regarding it's history and stunning images. I lived there for 9 months in 2000 and have great memories of it. You've made a genuinely truthful video, it's just like you said 👍
I stopped by the Falklands on the way around on a singlehanded circumnavigation in my 33' sailboat, but only stopped long enough to fill my water tanks as it cost $200. to clear customs and I didn't think it was worth it for a short visit. It was very late in the season anyway so the weather was less than pleasant so far south.
Thanks for this video. You dealt extremely well with the history of the islands and the 1982 war. I lost friends in that conflict and really appreciated the factual, non jingoistic approach. I hope to visit myself in the not too distant future. The scenery, the lifestyle and the wildlife are so attractive.
Thanks, I tried - but as you can see by other comments, not everyone had the same opinion. I am sorry for your loss, I know the people living there truly do appreciate the sacrifices made on their behalf. I hope you make it down there soon!
Leo_ Martinez you are incorrect. Argentina did not exist when the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands was established. Proximity does not matter. The inhabitants choose to remain British and they are supported by international law. I wish no harm to the good people of Argentina.
Steve Korbey that’s not correct, when Argentina gain independence the islands were occupied by Spain, and after that Argentinians were living there until England invade it again.
@DannyThey belong to Argentina, in 1833 the British killed the Argentinian residents and stole the islands, and when we recovered them they invaded again.
@Danny A place can belong to a nation even uninhabited, most part of Australia is uninhabited, maybe China should move a million people there to claim half of Australia, what you think?
They receive tourists from all over the world and it is absolutely worth it. I hope to go again one day but it is expensive and quite some distance. For you it will be a much cheaper and shorter flight: from Chile I believe the route via air is? Are you Argentine? If so then they will be wary of your intentions but as long as you respect the fact you are in the Falklands and not Las Malvinas then the islanders will be kind to you
Getting Stamped Well go for it but if you are vegan prepare for a diet of frozen cubed vegetables haha. We scoffed absolutely everything that swam, ran and flew!
I like the way you edited this. You filmed and concentrated on what was going on and did most of your commentary after you filmed. Which I think is better for this wildlife based video.
I NEVER tougth I would say this....but now I want to move to the Falklands. But on my budget it is a looong journey. I will have to swim from Norway. :D
The real treasure of an Earth is the Falkland Islands. I absolutely enjoyed watching this, more than a dream. Thank you for capturing this amazing beauty.
I was there back in the Day, on Top of Mount Alice. 70 mph winds all day and night. Seems like there is a lot of roads built since I was there. A strange bit of Britain ( so much like Scotland or Wales) 1,000's of miles away from the Mainland! Back then only contact we had was by Helicopter.
Takes me back to 1997 where I worked as a fisheries observer based in Stanley at the local fisheries dept. Brilliant place, nothing on this earth comes close to the Falkland Islands. Thank you for the tour… 👍👍👍
The Falklands remind me of the Faroe Islands. Really similar. They're both almost untouched by men. Nature reigns in them! Plus there's plenty of sheep and birds on both.
Thank you very much. Fantastic video! I was there 7 - 8 years ago. Our 2d stop on a cruise round the Horn. We only had one day. And I remember visiting a penguin colony. I would have loved to see the albatroses. It was december. So summer down there. But only 5 - 8°C and windy.
@@luciano2003. Hi Luciano! No no, not a job. I was on holiday. With Holland America's "Zaandam". A cruise from Buenos Aires to Montevideo, Las Malvinas, Punta Arenas, Ushuaia, Puerto Montt and Valparaiso. Very exciting.
I'm a Brit living in Scotland, I'm absolutely fascinated by the Falklands and its history, its such a dream of mine to visit and see the wildlife with my little girl. Even more so now having watched this brilliant video. Does it cost a lot for the rides on those small Red planes?
I watched this 6 months ago when I lived in England, this inspired my family to want to go even more. Now I'm living in Stanley Falklands. It's as beautiful as he says it is.

On the next invasion?

@@matthalstead7933 nahh just a friendly visit 🤣
Downvotes from Argentinians who can't accept the fact that the U.K has claimed the Falklands before they were even a country. And the inhabitants mostly descended from people who moved to the island hundreds of years ago want the status quo.
The Falklanders live a long live with the clean fresh air and beautiful scenery.
Im watching this during the pandemic IN the falklands.
How you guys doing.?🌍❤️

@Agustin Vicencio dont speak much spanish. Only know the basics but they are called the Falklands
I was looking forward to local people interaction but not disappointed and much appreciated 👍
Yes!
Too bad eh
I'm from the Falkland's what would you like to find out?
@@roannalloyd7288 I was just hoping that throughout the video the person presenting it would've interacted with the local people. How do you say have a nice day in your language?
@@chelu4u we are British, we speak English so we say have a nice day lol
its bewildering to me that the UK does not develop these islands much more!
Adding this to places i want to visit myself
Def worth it! Hope you get there soon!
The best video of the islands! Big hug from Argentina

What a great video! I loved how you want to several places there not just Port Stanley. The photography and editing are both top notch! It seems like the weather was clear while you were there. I heard there is a lot of rain and it’s very cold. The scenery looked beautiful. Weird to think of visiting a place where maybe no human has ever set foot at least on parts of the islands.
RIP Falkland fox, you won't be forgotten
rip
Thank you for a very nice video on the Falkland islands. Shows a world that is really different.
Love to the Falklands from Texas, USA. What a beautiful country.
It's not a country. It's a British overseas territory.
glorious location - and the people are special also.
What a great film! Absolutely beautiful footage, a bit of history & way of life mixed with the local wildlife. Really enjoyed this..
So beautiful place.Falklands forever!!
Argentinos be disliking the vid
Not really.
Brilliant video. Honest and unbiased regarding it's history and stunning images. I lived there for 9 months in 2000 and have great memories of it. You've made a genuinely truthful video, it's just like you said 👍
Honest? u mean the part where he didnt mentioned it's a stolen territory?
@Jesus Uribe and you guys would have won thanks to French, British and American weapons. Maybe Chinese colonisation might serve better?
Great video, very well done!!
I stopped by the Falklands on the way around on a singlehanded circumnavigation in my 33' sailboat, but only stopped long enough to fill my water tanks as it cost $200. to clear customs and I didn't think it was worth it for a short visit. It was very late in the season anyway so the weather was less than pleasant so far south.
Sounds like an amazing trip! I think it would have been worth a stop, but I'm sure the weather was a challenge. Safe sailing!
Thanks for this video. You dealt extremely well with the history of the islands and the 1982 war. I lost friends in that conflict and really appreciated the factual, non jingoistic approach.
I hope to visit myself in the not too distant future. The scenery, the lifestyle and the wildlife are so attractive.
Thanks, I tried - but as you can see by other comments, not everyone had the same opinion. I am sorry for your loss, I know the people living there truly do appreciate the sacrifices made on their behalf. I hope you make it down there soon!
@@GettingStamped Your video gave a good accounting. You can't please everyone.
Leo_ Martinez you are incorrect. Argentina did not exist when the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands was established. Proximity does not matter. The inhabitants choose to remain British and they are supported by international law.
I wish no harm to the good people of Argentina.
Steve Korbey that’s not correct, when Argentina gain independence the islands were occupied by Spain, and after that Argentinians were living there until England invade it again.
@@stevek3636
Dear, that's a mistake.
Argentina was born in 1810 (formally in 1816).
England usurps the islands in 1833
Beautiful land, like our south. Greetings from Argentina
I like? Is the same flor. The same area. The same country and you are a lier. Fake Argentinian people. Couse all of us know it. You are from Chile!!?
@@PerseFones qué?
Falkland islands are Argentina
@DannyThey belong to Argentina, in 1833 the British killed the Argentinian residents and stole the islands, and when we recovered them they invaded again.
@Danny A place can belong to a nation even uninhabited, most part of Australia is uninhabited, maybe China should move a million people there to claim half of Australia, what you think?
I visited in 2013! Almost a month and I loved it. I would happily migrate there
They receive tourists from all over the world and it is absolutely worth it. I hope to go again one day but it is expensive and quite some distance. For you it will be a much cheaper and shorter flight: from Chile I believe the route via air is? Are you Argentine? If so then they will be wary of your intentions but as long as you respect the fact you are in the Falklands and not Las Malvinas then the islanders will be kind to you
Outstanding videography, outstanding narration, I sincerely hope your talent is realised!!! Peace ✌️
Thanks, definitely appreciate that!
What a beautiful place. I hope to live there one day
Thanks for putting this video out there. Beautiful and rugged, simple way of life.🐑🐧
Looks just like Shetland.

@@scottwhitley3392 hahaha
It is weird how it's almost identical to parts of Britain.
The English Gentleman yes although the houses are totally different, they look sort of Scandinavian, like Norwegian

Shitland
I'm 39 yrs old I remember as a kid spinning a globe and my finger landing on these islands ive always wanted to go. Still do a big dream
Try The Faroes! brilliant trip, lovely gentle and welcoming people. Two holidays totalling five weeks THE most memorable ever.
Weather same as Falklands though lol!
The Faroe Islands are on our list for sure!
Getting Stamped Well go for it but if you are vegan prepare for a diet of frozen cubed vegetables haha. We scoffed absolutely everything that swam, ran and flew!
Max Plankton hi, I’m peskatarian (vegetarian that eats fish) and I’m thinking about visiting the faroes with my dad. Do they have vegetarian options?
@@UncleBoratagain How much did it cost for Faroe Islands to stay and travel
Absolutely brilliant video - really enjoyed it and reminded me of our Chatham Islands visit in NZ
Falkland Island is one of my bucketlist place. I wouldnt trade my love for underrated places to the populated tourist spot ones

@@galodiaz6430 SHUT UP
I like the way you edited this. You filmed and concentrated on what was going on and did most of your commentary after you filmed. Which I think is better for this wildlife based video.
It's crazy how similar it looks to scotland
@Die Bus Tierra Británica
The islanders are descended from Scots and welsh.
Brother of tinnycan5303 here, we still live there! Just discovered my sisters comment and thought I’d leave one too 😀
Gorgeous country and fantastic wildlife ! Thank you !
I NEVER tougth I would say this....but now I want to move to the Falklands. But on my budget it is a looong journey. I will have to swim from Norway. :D
Beautiful Falkland Islands love and blessings from your cousins in the UK ❤
Very intriguing destination! Thanks for sharing and God bless

The real treasure of an Earth is the Falkland Islands. I absolutely enjoyed watching this, more than a dream. Thank you for capturing this amazing beauty.
Great film really good capture of the wild life
I was there back in the Day, on Top of Mount Alice. 70 mph winds all day and night. Seems like there is a lot of roads built since I was there. A strange bit of Britain ( so much like Scotland or Wales) 1,000's of miles away from the Mainland! Back then only contact we had was by Helicopter.
Takes me back to 1997 where I worked as a fisheries observer based in Stanley at the local fisheries dept. Brilliant place, nothing on this earth comes close to the Falkland Islands. Thank you for the tour… 👍👍👍
Absolutely awesome place.
Already caught myself staring at it on numerous occasions... now it just looks better xD
The Falklands remind me of the Faroe Islands. Really similar. They're both almost untouched by men. Nature reigns in them! Plus there's plenty of sheep and birds on both.
I spent 6 months on the top of Mount Maria back in 1983 the views at sunrise were outstanding..
Its a beautiful place .i was once based to work there as a seafarer, and visited the gypsy cove ,one of the tourist spot in the islands. Super love it
Hey dude just watched your video on the Falklands as a kelper myself the nick name for a islander the video is spot on thanks for being so positive
It's a very cool place to call home! Glad I got to visit!
A nice place to retire to. Beauty and quiet.

Beautiful documentary. Thanks for bringing me to Falkland Island virtually. You have a very good narrative too!
10:36 The seal has 'Tipo' written on it?
Big Blocka I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice
Conservationists, give seals names and put it on their side (non toxic, doesn't harm the seal) so they can keep record of population and migration.
Thank you very much. Fantastic video! I was there 7 - 8 years ago. Our 2d stop on a cruise round the Horn. We only had one day. And I remember visiting a penguin colony. I would have loved to see the albatroses. It was december. So summer down there. But only 5 - 8°C and windy.
Denmark?

I have always wanted to live here so, so much. I hope one day I will make it there and enjoy the beauty of this hidden gem surrounded by ocean.

Good to see a thriving British overseas territory.
I'm a Brit living in Scotland, I'm absolutely fascinated by the Falklands and its history, its such a dream of mine to visit and see the wildlife with my little girl. Even more so now having watched this brilliant video. Does it cost a lot for the rides on those small Red planes?
It's ours 🇬🇧🇬🇧
