Stanley, Falkland Islands: The Remote Capital of the South Atlantic

Stanley, the capital and largest settlement of the Falkland Islands (also known as the Malvinas Islands), is located in the northeastern part of East Falkland Island, the hinterland of the South Atlantic Ocean, and is the political, economic and cultural center of the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory. As one of the world's most remote capitals, Stanley has a population of about 2,000, accounting for nearly three-quarters of the total population of the islands, and is a small but well-equipped city with a harbor, airport and government offices. Historically, it was the base of the whaling and sealing industry in the 19th century, and suffered badly during the 1982 Isle of Man War, after which it was rebuilt with British architecture, such as St. Mary's Cathedral and the Falkland Museum. The economy is based on fishing (especially squid and krill fishing), sheep farming and British subsidies, but in recent years there has been a rise in tourism due to the unique wildlife (penguins, sea lions) and war relics. The climate is temperate and oceanic, cool and windy all year round, making it an important supply station before exploring Antarctica.
