A Remote Archipelago

Some destinations are so remote that they seem almost legendary, tucked away in the corners of maps and seemingly unreachable…

Although conflict brought the Falklands to the center of the international stage, they remain one of the few unspoiled areas of the planet in which the wildlife is still at ease with human kind. It is only by improving our knowledge and awareness of the finely balanced ecosystems of the islands that we can ensure their unique character is preserved.

"We explored the small islands of the archipelago collecting the stories of its few inhabitants. Many times, we could not count more than 15 people on an entire island, in contrast to hundreds of penguins, albatrosses, and colonies of elephant seals. Human population is so scarce that animals do not see us as a threat. They approached us as if they did not know what humanity is capable of; and that was definitely humbling."
