Falkland Islands | A Journey to the Bottom of the Earth 

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.

Great film, thank you…. A British veteran from the war of ‘82

I Live in Orkney and have a friend from the Falklands. This video makes me want to visit there, as it reminds me of how we used to be.

The landscape is really similar to the scottish highlands, except it has penguins.

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

I spent around six months there, among the best days of my life.

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.

Loved the footage, I lived their for 7 years. What makes the place so special is what is not there as much as what is.

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.

To think ive only left the Falklands twice and i Wouldn't swap living here for living anywhere else (Im native to the Falklands)

I'm 7th generation of the Falkland's my children are 8th.

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.

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 .

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 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.

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!

Absolutely loved this. Never knew what the Falklands were like. Amazing work, hopefully I'll get to travel there one day..

One day I will visit these beautiful islands, a little piece of home in the South Atlantic and so much more. Thanks for posting.

What a great film! Absolutely beautiful footage, a bit of history & way of life mixed with the local wildlife. Really enjoyed this..

I am from Fiji and I am just carried away with all these lovely video. I am hopeful that one day I will set foot on Falkland Island.

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 👍

Thank you for a very nice video on the Falkland islands. Shows a world that is really different.

Thanks for putting this video out there. Beautiful and rugged, simple way of life.🐑🐧

Gorgeous country and fantastic wildlife ! Thank you !

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 🇬🇧

Thank you for this! I lived there when I was a child and miss it so much. This took be back for a little while:)

It's on my bucket list as I have always had a fascination with the falklands

A truly wonderfull place, full of joy and life, falkland islands forever, 😘 greetings from chile!! 🇨🇱🇬🇧

Very intriguing destination! Thanks for sharing and God bless

LOVE this. totally wonderfully. thanks for making and posting

It's changed a lot since my two tours in the 90's with the Royal Navy. What a Fantastic place and I'm so glad I got to visit a lot of these places.!

Absolutely brilliant video - really enjoyed it and reminded me of our Chatham Islands visit in NZ

What a gorgeous place! I´ve never imagined these islands to be so beautiful. Amazing!

I went Here a few years ago at the age of 8 and it’s emotional seeing this video and how much I really miss it

glorious location - and the people are special also.

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.

Best video I've seen in a while Awesome stuff man 👍

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.

Great video, thank you. It was so interesting to watch and to listen to your enthusiastic commentary.

Great film really good capture of the wild life

Can't wait to visit! Looks amazing down there. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🙌

Thank you for the amazing video, just found out about this place and it's so fascinating! Best video out there about the Islands

Really great video and well put together. Kudos to that. Also, great narration, pace and variety. Such an amazing amount of wildlife you captured as well.

Brilliant video. Amazing place. Thanks.

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.

Beautiful documentary. Thanks for bringing me to Falkland Island virtually. You have a very good narrative too!

What an amazing video of a truly beautiful place! Wow

Absolutely awesome place. Already caught myself staring at it on numerous occasions... now it just looks better xD

Really great video! You showcased the beauty and ruggedness of the islands so well. The rock hoppers are so rad and the albatross colony looks like a cool place to hang out. We hope to sail there one day! Keep up the great work with your videos!

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.

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.

Looks just like Shetland.

Oh wow what a stunning place, I’ve always wanted to visit the Falklands and I do even more so now. Looks very similar to Western Ireland too, awesome 👌 Great video, keep up the good work 👍👏👏👏

Outstanding video, you're very descriptive and note every little detail of the islands. I'm glad you chose my country for your video.

What an amazing video! Great footage. Thanks a lot for sharing. I hope to visit these islands soon

Really good camera work. Sounds like you had a great time. Looking forward to more of your videos.

Adding this to places i want to visit myself

Awesome video! Never seen any travel youtubers talk about this place before. So cool.

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!!!

Brilliant video mate! Loved it!

I was looking forward to local people interaction but not disappointed and much appreciated 👍

The benefit of very little people. Nature is healthy.

Beautiful islands. Great video .Many thanks

Great clip, I was there in 1985 on a posting with the British Army, how its changed! The only road I remember was in Port Stanley!

Wonderful documentary!

Amazing! Great video. Thanks!

I sense your joy, it has boosted my mood!

Gorgeous place!

Good stuff! Thank you!

Really very good editing...This is the first time I have seen this island through your nice video... Thanks

Thank you for taking us/me to the Falklands where only a few can experience it.

Beautifully photographed 💕

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

Wow! Excellent video. Great narration and stunning photos and scenery. Thanks so much. Keep smiling🙂🤘

Thanks for this excellant video . beautifully filmed.

It's now on my bucket list.

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

Thank you for the awesome tour, and for sharing your adventure.

What an awesome video, it is 3 am here and I should be in bed, but here I am watching your video, the Falklands look a totally amazing place, thanks for posting the video.

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.

Awesome video, would love to visit there.

Very informative video. Thank you for this. I'm ready to explore the Falkland Islands.

I'm in love..its so clean, and the wildlife is amazing..

Beautiful land, like our south. Greetings from Argentina

The best video of the islands! Big hug from Argentina

This is the best RU-vid video I’ve ever watched

The Falklanders live a long live with the clean fresh air and beautiful scenery.

Beautiful nature

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.

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.

What an amazing video , thank you 😊

RIP Falkland fox, you won't be forgotten

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 👍

Best thing I've watched in a long time 👍

A great video about a great place. It's a few years since I was there. I'd love to go back.

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.

Outstanding videography, outstanding narration, I sincerely hope your talent is realised!!! Peace ✌️

Beautiful video, I'm certainly feeling inspired 😍

So beautiful place.Falklands forever!!
