United Kingdom - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
The Falkland Islands, an archipelago located in the South Atlantic Ocean, are characterized by their rugged beauty and diverse terrain. The two main islands, East and West Falkland, are separated by the Falkland Sound and are primarily composed of low-lying plains and rolling hills. The highest point, Mount Usborne, rises to 705 meters on East Falkland. The coastline is deeply indented with numerous bays, inlets, and natural harbors, while the interior is dotted with numerous smaller islands, cliffs, and rocky outcrops. The climate is cool and windy, with frequent rainfall and relatively mild temperatures throughout the year. Despite the harsh conditions, the islands support a variety of wildlife, including penguins, seals, seabirds, and unique plant species adapted to the windswept environment.
