Carcass Island Settlement
Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas)
Carcass Island, in the northwestern Falkland Islands, is one of the few islands in the archipelago free of introduced rats, cats, and other predatory mammals, making it a stronghold for land-breeding birds and a draw for serious birders. The single settlement, Port Patterson, offers lodging for visitors. The island is the largest of the West Point Island Group, with mountains visible from the shore.
