Port Albemarle (, in the Falkland Islands . It is in the far south of the island, on the east side, at the southern end of Falkland Sound . The area roundabout is considered to have some of the most beautiful scenery in the Falkland Islands. Owing to its large harbour, Albemarle became a successful Sealing station, during the late 19th century, and the ruins of the buildings are still to be seen. It was enlarged during the post-WWII period by the Colonial Development Company like Ajax Bay , and included its own power station, jetty, Nissen huts etc. It has since been vandalised by military personnel from RAF Mount Alice . These have all been abandoned, but there is still a sheep station here, run by Leon and Pam Berntsen. The Arch Islands are near here. |
