Its also remarkable ecologically. The island is naturally nothing but generally inhospitable rock. “Hell without the fires” one described it as. Then they took hundreds of different species of plant there to try to get something to grow. Eventually finding some that would and literally turned the mountain green! This lead to rain clouds forming and precipitation increasing which further fuelled the greenery. It also lead to a disaster for what natural ecosystem there was before man. Nonetheless its a remarkable example of terraforming! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,642 Posted June 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Iirc the falklands has feral herds of caribou/reindeer. They also have some great looking wild trout fishing (a lad on here posted about it while he was posted down there). If it was possible to go down there, cull some caribou and roam about spinning for trout and whatever else at an economical cost, I’d be all over it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
