Saunders Island in the Falkland Islands is located in the southwestern part of the Atlantic Ocean and is the third largest of the Falkland Islands (known as the Malvinas Islands in Argentina), with an area of approximately 131 square kilometers. The settlement on the island is part of the British Overseas Territory of the Falkland Islands, and is sparsely populated, consisting mainly of sheep farmers, with an economy based on traditional animal husbandry, and the development of small-scale eco-tourism due to the abundance of marine life and birdlife. The island's diverse topography, including coastal cliffs, inland grasslands and freshwater lakes, is an important habitat for wildlife such as penguins, sea lions and albatrosses. There is an ongoing dispute over sovereignty, with the United Kingdom in de facto control and Argentina claiming sovereignty over it. The settlement has a simple infrastructure, with no large towns, and its inhabitants are dependent on the island's internal resources and limited connection to Port Stanley.
