Stanley is the small, charming capital of the Falkland Islands. Situated on the end of East Falkland Island, Stanley is unlike your typical tropical getaway. Penguins and sea lions make up stunningly diverse wildlife in a rugged port with a deep naval history. As the sight of a 1982 war between Argentina and the United Kingdom over its sovereignty, there are also many memorials and battlefields to tour. Although not as glamorous as some lavish resort palaces, Stanley is a great destination to explore natural wonders in a serene environment.
