Voycey (after Only Fools & Horses) - now that was annoying. Cut off before I could answer your question.

What was Lafonia called before it was called Lafonia?

French Bottle Island of course .................... oh no, hang on, take out 'Bottle'. ;-)

MacBride's survey work was first published by Carrington-Bowles in 1770 with the southern part of East Falkland Island marked as' French Island'. Possible because of a bottle.

And as for the highest point in the Falklands? That would seem to be Mount Usborne on East Falkland.
