Gypsy Cove
Recorded February 18, 2009.
Gypsy Cove and Yorke Bay are a pair of small bays in the Falkland Islands. They are on East Falkland. Gypsy Cove is four miles from Stanley. The bays face northwards into Port William, and have Canopus Hill behind them. Because of their strategic position, on a peninsula, not far from Stanley, during the 1982 occupation of the Falklands, the Argentines placed several fields of plastic landmines nearby, in order to prevent a British landing. The British, instead, marched on Stanley from the landward side, from the west, avoiding Gypsy Cove and Yorke Bay. Although the landmines can be set off easily by humans, the bays are filled with penguins, who have taken advantage of their undisturbed location, and which are too small to set off the mines. While the beaches and minefields are fenced off, the bays are popular locations for tourist groups, who watch the birds from hides in unmined locations.

COME SEE BEAUTIFUL GYPSY COVE IN THE FALKLAND ISLANDS
This raw footage was shot by me on Gypsy Cove location on the western island of the Falkland Islands. I was taking photographs of penguins during my port stop as a photographer on board the Norwegian Sun. This was a cool inexpensive way to see the penguins on a very short period of time. The people there are very hospitable and knowledgeable of the surrounding landscapes.

The Falkland Islands
Recorded February 18, 2009.
The Falkland Islands are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, located 300 miles from the coast of Argentina. They consist of two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland, together with 776 smaller islands. Stanley, on East Falkland, is the capital. The islands are a self-governing Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom.
Stanley (formerly known as Port Stanley) is the capital and only true city in the Falkland Islands. It is located on the isle of East Falkland, on a north-facing slope, south of Stanley Harbour, in one of the wettest parts of the islands. As of the 2006 census, the city had a population of 2,115.
