Bleaker Island - Falklands Paradise

by MikeAtSea - last update: Jan 11, 2007

The residence of Bleaker Island
Bleaker Island is a 30 minute flight south west of Stanley and is open year round. It is an isolated place that is home to only two inhabitants the Rendell family, which farm on the island with cattle and sheep. Their residence is in the middle of a teaming paradise for sealions, penguins and hundred of species of birds. The island is off the beaten track - yet if you should decide to visit this remote place you will not be disappointed, since all the natural highlights are only about 3 km away in either direction from the self catering cottage that is available for visitors.
This island offers the rare sightings of Rockhopper Penguins, as well as Magellanic and Gentoo Penguins who are also at home here. Whales and sealions patrol the coast around the island and thousands of birds seem to be the canopy towards the sky.
Seldom I have seen such a teeming natural place that enchants with its quietness and natural beauty then Bleaker Island.
If you want to discover the Falklands off the beaten track, enabling you to get the full flavour of the islands and to fully appreciate the unique environment and wildlife - head out and “camp” out - as the Falklanders describe for everything that is outside Stanley.
