The island
West Falkland is the second largest island of the Falklands, lying west of East Falkland across Falkland Sound. Its coastline is extraordinarily ragged, with long inlets, harbours and peninsulas cutting into it from every side, and dozens of smaller islands scattered offshore. Inland, the land is mostly open grass and moorland, rising to ridges in the north where Mount Adam, the archipelago's highest peak, stands.
Settlement is sparse and dispersed. Sheep farming has long defined the island, and its communities are farm settlements such as Port Howard, on the Falkland Sound shore, and Fox Bay on the southeast coast. Tracks and gravel roads join them across the open camp, as the countryside is known locally, while many outlying farms are reached by air or by sea.
Because the island has no single centre, a West Falkland map poster is shaped almost entirely by its coastline, and that is its strength. The pattern of bays, sounds and islands is intricate enough to reward close looking, and the thin roads across the interior give it scale without crowding the composition.
The channel between the two main islands forms the eastern edge of the map, a long stretch of water with Port Howard on its western shore.
The highest point in the Falklands rises in the north of the island, where the ground lifts into ridges above the surrounding moorland.
Dozens of smaller islands surround the coast, especially to the west and north, turning the island's outline into a wide scatter of shapes.
