Well... why... There are 3,480 Falklanders. My high-school had 3,900 students. The weather is pretty bleak. Warm season average high temp in January is 57F. Average low in June is 32F. Mostly cloudy/overcast 60% of the week pretty much year round. I.e., it's never really warm enough to do a lot of outdoor activities other than hiking or maybe horseback riding. Only 20% of days are 'wet' days, so you don't have to worry all that much about rain. Still, it's too cold for swimming or beach-going, not cold enough for skiing. Admittedly, I just skimmed the article, but this caught my eye: "Since the late nineteenth century, islanders had wanted a swimming pool because the sea was too cold to swim in, so nobody knew how, and, when boats capsized, people would drown." Make no mistake, there are many folks who prefer this climate, and the remoteness and seeming lack of immediacy that is growing in the rest of the world. I imagine you'd stay for the sameness of each day. I could see it as an unplug for a while, but living there would get, for me... dull. One thing I did wonder, though, what does a Falklander accent sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiHFhRyxU48 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiHFhRyxU48
