We are continuing our exciting trip around the smallest countries of the world. And today we are going to set out to no less wonderful tiny states, where marvelous landscapes and picturesque views charm and attract more and more tourist from all over the world.Falkland Islands

Gentoo Penguins

The population of penguins here is several times bigger than the population of the islands, and that is not surprising. Only about three thousand people live on the island. Travelers come here on a cruise ship. The Falklands usually become a transit point on the way to Antarctica.
