Things to see in The Falkland Islands: Pebble Island
This 38 kilometre long island is one of the largest in the West Falkland group. The grassy plains, ponds and wetlands on its east side contrast with the moorlands and mountains of the west
Its sandy beaches and rocky cliffs provide shelter to sealions and thousands of penguins. It is the only place in the Falklands where the erect-crested penguin has been seen. In addition to the usual five species. As well as its 42 resident bird species, the island attracts occasional visitors from mainland South America, such as the black-necked swan.
