Yellow flowers from Gorse Bushes (Ulex europaeus), Carcass Island, Falkland Islands / Antarctica 2015 / SML.20151202.6D.35131
Upon reaching Carcass Island, you‘ll see the hills covered with yellow flowers. These brilliant blooms are known as gorse bushes.
Carcass Island has been a sheep farm for more than a century. An old man live inside a little house with a his few dogs about an hour after our landing.
Rob McGill bought Carcass Island in 1974 for £30,000 and moved there with his wife. They raised their son and daughter there and now run a small B&B.
This was one of the first islands I visted during my Antarctica trip. When I first saw it, I dreamed about retiring on an island like this one day (LOL) — but internet coverage could be a huge issue, so maybe not…
