My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

During my time in the Falkland Islands, I found that the Rockhopper penguin is a curious penguin full of humour and bravado. Here the Rockhopper shows its personality, walking along the cliff with not a care in the world.

This photo shows the integration human civilization has made into the raw, untouched landscape of the Falkland Islands. The sharp rugged rocks are dangerous, yet the beauty of them, and the surrounding landscape, captures the attention and shows the contrast between the touched (the city in the background) and the untouched.

On Sea Lion Island, a small island in the Falkland Islands, this baby elephant seal let me get extremely close to it. Within its gaze you can not only see its caution and curiosity, but also the reflection of the beach and me taking the picture.
