At 11am I flew from Pebble Island to Sea Lion Island in the same light plane that previously took me to Pebble Island.

If you look carefully you may be able to see the airfield, both along the isthmus and across it.  This is where a SAS raid destroyed the Argentine aircraft on the ground in 1982.

Moving a bit to the right, there is the edge of the settlement at bottom right under the watermark.

Moving further along, this is the wharf and the old farm buildings.

The following five images are islets between Pebble Island and West Falkland.

On the east coast of West Falkland, this is Port Howard, the most massive metropolis in West Falkland, with twenty inhabitants and centre of a farm with over 40,000 sheep.

Still Port Howard, from a different perspective as we fly south west.

Further back and now we can see the Hornby Mountains behind and the weather is closing in.

There are many small lakes in the centre of East Falkland.  I know where this is, but can’t supply a name.

This is at the Bay of Harbours, at the south coast of East Falkland, just to the east of Cow Point.  I don’t have a shot coming in to Sea Lion Island, further south.  It must have been too cloudy there.
