Drake_Passage_-_Lambert_Azimuthal_projection
The Drake Passage separates South America from Antarctica. These waters are stormy, and, in the days of sail, dangerous to navigate.
The Falklands are a sparsely settled British Protectorate, where the main industry is Sheep farming. Argentina invaded the Falklands and South Georgia in 1983.
South Georgia once had a dozen settlements servicing whaling ships. Grytviken continues to have a handful of permanent residents, servicing visiting scientists and tourists.
