    The 1933 Whalebone Arch which commemorates British continuous rule in Falklands

    The Whalebone Arch in Stanley City, adjacent to the cathedral, the southernmost Anglican cathedral in the world, a must for visitors to enjoy and picture a souvenir

    One of the attractions when visiting the Falkland Islands' capital Stanley City is the Whalebone Arch, adjacent to the cathedral, the southernmost Anglican cathedral in the world. Locals, tourists and cruise visitors love to enjoy and picture the impressive mandibles of blue whales in the arch, but not many are aware it was erected in 1933, to commemorate the centenary of continuous British administration in the Falklands. The land and garden that forms the Arch Green (formerly Cathedral Green) was given by the Falkland Islands Company to the Falkland Islands Government for the leisure of the people of Stanley, and enjoyment of visitors.
