West Point Island lies off the most northwesterly point of West Falkland. It has an area of 1,255 ha (2,700acres) and is owned by Roddy and Lily Napier. The settlement is located on the east side of the island, in thelee of Black Bog Hill and Michael’s Mount. The valley between these peaks took us over the centre of theisland, to the dramatic Devil’s Nose and surrounding cliffs to see black-browed albatross and rockhopper penguins.

Brown Bluff lies 14.5 km (9 mi) south of Hope Bay, on the eastern side of Tabarin Peninsula. The 745 m (2,225ft) bluff is an exposed section of a glacial volcano, embedded with larva bombs. Snow petrels and pintados neston the bluff face while Adélie and gentoo penguin colonies are present on the beach. Washed up jelly fish areoften found at this site which are promptly eaten by pintados. Weddell seals may also be found ashore. Thescenery at this site is stunning, ranging from a nearby glacier face to nunataks further inland on the Antarcticcontinent.
