The Falkland Islands (Falkland Islands) is a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean, the capital Stanley (Stanley) is the only town and administrative center of the Islands. The islands are located between latitude 51 ° - 53 ° S, longitude 57 ° - 62 ° W, about 500 kilometers from the Argentine coast, the climate is temperate maritime climate, cool and windy throughout the year. Stanley, with a population of about 2,000, is the political, economic and cultural hub of the islands, with a deep-water harbor and an airstrip. The local economy is based on fishing, wool export and tourism, and the surrounding waters are rich in krill and fish, attracting both scientific research and tourists. The islands are known for their pristine natural beauty, inhabited by wildlife such as penguins, sea lions and dolphins, as well as historical sites such as Stanley Cathedral and the War Museum. In terms of sovereignty disputes, Argentina refers to them as the "Malvinas Islands", but they are currently under British de facto jurisdiction.
Buford is located in Laramie County, Wyoming, USA, off Interstate 80, about 40 kilometers south of the state capital, Cheyenne. The town is famous for having the smallest resident population in the United States - in 2010, there was only one person left (and then it became uninhabited for a time), and was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "least populated incorporated town in the United States". Dating back to the 1860s, the town prospered as a railroad supply depot and then declined as transportation routes changed. Today, the town's landmarks include a grocery store, gas station, and a historic beacon that was sold to a Vietnamese businessman for $900,000 in 2013, making it a "lonely landmark" for tourists. Despite having zero permanent residents, the town attracts thousands of visitors each year to experience the wilderness and serenity of the vast state of Wyoming.
