Remember that great war in the US where we declared our freedom from British Rule? Big war big results. Irony is when a place, like here fights for rule but this time the WANTED British rule as apposed to the mainland merely 250 nautical miles away ruling and reigning. Of Course the Brits had to sail a measly 8,000 miles to get there. So victory for the British. It's all about what the people want. You may be surprised to know that this happened a mere 30 years ago. Also a note of Irony is that US supported the British in the war. Fly the Union Jack.
You may have guessed that this is another island nation. But unlike most island nations, you wont find crowds of tourists the Unspoilt beaches, islands and cliffs provide a haven for tons of species including Orville here (can you guess what movie he was in) You could share a beach with a Elephant Seals, while watching Killer Whales circling offshore. Well because you wont be swimming, brrrrrr.
Besides soaking in the crisp sun on the beach and observing the wildlife, there is always the adventure. The location alone would constitute as an adventure, and getting there could definitely be an adventure, and most people come here in search of getting somewhere else, a location anyone would consider a great adventure. But while here there are things you can also do. Are you into marathons? The Standard Chartered Bank, through their "Greatest Race on Earth competition, decided to sponsor extreme races. The highest, the most southerly, etc. One of those is here. Also, anywhere outside of the Capital City is considered 'Camp Area', I love camping, and camping here is a lifetime experience.
A unique landmark are the stone seas, a rock land form, made by erosion caused by freeze/thawing cycles during the last ice age. They are accumulations of boulders with material between them.
Most travel is done by boat or plane. An life is an islander life - slow and easy. Not much has changed from the British Settlement in the 1700 to the present, and the houses from the settlement still remain enhancing the ambiance. Or take a jeep excursion to see the little men in tuxes.
An untapped resource for tourism, AND oil. Seismic surveys show there is oodles of it.
