The Falklands-Saunders Island

Saunders is in the north-west of The Falkland archipelago. Like West Point Island, the sole family that lives on Saunders are sheep farmers. However, the island boasts colonies of three penguins species: gentoo, Magellanic, and king.

There is a small isthmus in the middle of the island with sandy beaches on either side, allowing for Zodiac landings regard on either side to accommodate the direction of the prevailing wind.
