The Falkland Islands are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, located 300 miles from the coast of Argentina. They consist of two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland, together with 776 smaller islands. Stanley, on East Falkland, is the capital. The islands are a self-governing Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom.
Stanley (formerly known as "Port Stanley") is the capital and only true city in the Falkland Islands. It is located on the isle of East Falkland, on a north-facing slope, south of Stanley Harbour, in one of the wettest parts of the islands. As of the 2006 census, the city had a population of 2,115.
The video begins aboard the Star Princess as we sail into Stanley Harbor in the Falkland Islands. Next there is a tour of the town of Stanley complete with comments from our colorful local guide. Next is a visit to the penguin colony at Gypsy Cove. The video then concludes with our sail away from the Falkland Islands aboard the Star Princess.
You can see more of Gypsy Cove in my video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy1By5RR9kg&fmt=18

@TheLiberalKnight I don't see Argentina mounting an invasion any time soon. I don't see Obama losing the election, he's well ahead in the polls, with an improving economy. Any Republican President may well be beholden to a Latino vote that Reagan didn't have to worry about anyway.So may not be as willing to help. Britain has not got the Navy to re take the island. Just as you rightly point out, Argentina probably hasn't got the capability of capturing the islands in the first place. Phoney war.

To be honest I couldn't care if Argentina do succeed in winning the islands back (however unlikely it is), the place looks like a shit'ole.
