Falklands Wildlife Gallery

In the winter of 2008, Rolf went to the Falkland Islands on assignment for National Geographic Traveler. While exploring this British outpost in the South Atlantic, Rolf was impressed by the variety and accessibility of the wildlife — a detail that appeared in his story, which ran in the July/August 2008 issue of Traveler. Below is a sampling of the wildlife he saw in the Falklands archipelago.
