Saunders Island is the fourth-largest of the Falkland Islands, located in the northwest of the archipelago. The island is renowned for its dramatic coastal scenery with sandy beaches, cliffs, and wide grasslands. It is an important habitat for seabirds, including albatrosses, cormorants, and several species of penguins (such as rockhopper, gentoo, and king penguins). Saunders Island is sparsely populated and mainly used for sheep farming. It is a popular destination for eco-tourism and birdwatching.
