Stanley

Stanley’s landscape is a windswept, largely treeless Atlantic coast, which has shaped both its compact harbour-side form and maritime economy. The capital of the Falkland Islands stands on East Falkland at Stanley Harbour, where fishing vessels, supply ships and local boats reflect the islands’ close connection with the sea. Christ Church Cathedral, completed in 1892, is recognised by the whalebone arch outside its entrance. The Falkland Islands Museum at the Historic Dockyard documents island life, seafaring and the 1982 conflict. Place Stanley in the context of East Falkland by browsing webcams nearby.
