1969 Falkland Islands (Malvinas). Cecil Bertrand with his sheep on Carcass Island in the far west of the archipelago. The island is roughly 6 miles (10 kilometres) at its longest and 124 miles (200 kilometres) from Stanley the capital. In this lonely spot Cecil and his wife Kitty ran the sheep farm without help except in the lambing and shearing seasons. The very flat Tussock Islands are close and visible but beyond them westward it is open sea for 330 miles (530.5 kilometres) to the South American mainland.

Camera: Nikon F 35mm Single Lens Reflex with Nikkor 105 mm F 2.5 lens. Film - Kodak Plus X Pan 1/500 second F5.6. Developed by hand in Stanley in the darkroom of local photographer John Leonard using Kodak Microdol at normal dilution.
