No Man's Land, Falkland Islands

No Man's Land, Falkland Islands

No Man's Land is an area on East Falkland island, in the Falkland Islands.

It probably derives its name from the fact that it is extremely rough ground, and is partly co-extensive with the Wickham Heights. It is to the north west of RAF Mount Pleasant, on the northern half of East Falkland.
