Lonely Planet review for Westpoint Island

Westpoint Island is only small but has the Falklands highest cliffs, and is of particular interest due to its population of black-browed albatrosses. There are over 10,000 breeding pairs in total, including a large colony on the Devil's Nose promontory in the western part of the island. This area also contains rockhopper and Magellanic penguin colonies.

The island is a very popular stop for cruise ships. It also has an airstrip, although it's not easy to visit from Stanley because the runway is very weather dependant.
