My father's one piece of advice, having spent a lot of time flying out to take photos of the landscape and penguin colonies and such was - "Whatever you do, never go downwind of a penguin colony". Cute little buggers stink!

I think the Falklands reached a milestone in mine clearance, wherein they believe most of them are dealt with now.

Still, 'most' implies an unnerving possibility of chance.

- ed: I realise, belatedly, that this circles back to the original conceit - staying out of the way of noxious winds :)
