(john fowler) you're on the falkland islands. we're in the south atlantic, about 250 miles off the nearest point of the southern part of latin america. it is a windy place, but once you've learned to walk sort of leaning against the wind, it's easy. (sophie fouron) john fawler. born in england, he's lived in the falklands some fifty years, during which he has been a teacher, guide, journalist and editor. with extensive knowledge of this land he calls home, these are his islands. (john fowler) we're an immigrant society. there is still a majority of people of british origin. at the moment, according to the last census, there are 2850 or so inhabitants of the falkland islands of whom just about 2000 now live in stanley, and the rest are scattered around what we call the "camp," which is anywhere outside of stanley, including a smaller number of people who live on small islands, which they run as sheep farms and also as tourist destinations. the falkland islands used to be a colony. now, it is technically a british overseas territor
