Perdona Luis mi intromision pero la curiosidad que senti yo tambien el observar esta foto me ha llevado a colocar sus coordenadas en GE y te puedo decir que está tomada en la isla de Annenkov perteneciente al grupo Georgia y Sandwich del Sur (a 1500 km al W de Puerto Stanley en las Maldivas). Veo que el autor, JayFC, tiene colgadas 9 fotos de estos parajes. Posiblemente le sea dificil responderte en nuestro idioma.

Hola, las Islas Georgia y Sandwich del Sur estan cerca de las Islas Malvinas (no Maldivas), cerca de la costa sur de Argentina.

Gracias Andrelu, efectivamente tuve un lapsus, y aprovecho el 25 aniversario para expresar mi apoyo al pueblo argentino en su reivindicacion a la soberania de las islas Malvinas.

Hello Mario. It´s not an easy place to get to. I am not sure but I would say that the best way to do so is with a cruise combining Falklands and these islands. Check Lonely Planet guide on Falklands Mucha suerte

I lived on Annenkov Island from November 1972 to March 1973 and can state categorically that this photo was NOT taken on the Island but probably on neighbouring South Georgia.

Malvinas(Falklands), Georgia and all the argentinian territory its beautiful. Ar-Gen-Ti-Na for All............. Englands Go Home.

Err I don't think so matey - the Falkland Islands have been a British Overseas territory since 1592, however remained uninhabited until 1833, when the first 'settlers' landed on the islands and set up home. Argentina has absolutely no valid claim to these islands, or any other territory in the area whether they be British, or otherwise! Tell me exactly how long has Argentina actually been in existance? Well I'll tell you, Independance was claimed in 1816 and fought for in 1817, prior to that the area now known as Argentina was under Spanish rule, the Islands were thus claimed by Great Britain roughly 250 years prior to Argentina even coming into existence, so please get your facts right!

Regardless of what the history is, the Islands are governed in a democratic way, so let the islanders decide and I think you wil find that they actually want to remain a British Overseas Territory, with it's own independant rule and nothing to do with Argentina!

The only time their 'ownership' comes to light is when Argentina ca't think up another way of distracting its population from the economical turmoil on its own soil!

Las Malvinas - no way pal, Falkland Islands, British owned for ever, or there will be more worthless blood spilling yet again with the same outcome!

Bueno como dice Andres1967, los Argentinos por naturaleza no tenemos derecho de las Malvinas. pero sigo insistiendo que Inglaterra como siempre ha hecho y siempre harà, Ir a molestar a los demas y colonisar con o sin guerra a otros paises. Y como pais industrializado es de lo mas carnivoro para no dejar progresar a los paises en via de desarrollo es un pais como lo llamo personalmente ( SIN IDENTIDAD )
