A bright red double-decker bus is parked. This picture was taken not in London, the capital of the United Kingdom (......), but in the Falkland Islands, more than 10,000 km away from London. The shadowy figures seen in the bus are the Falkland Islands' inhabitants.penguinThey are stuffed animals.

The Falkland Islands are a British territory in the South Atlantic Ocean, effectively controlled by the U.K. since 1833, but there are ongoing tensions over the territory with Argentina, which lies to the west of the Falkland Islands.
