Just one comment. You mention that "In 1982 Argentina decided that the Falkland (Malvina’s) Islands belonged to them and invaded the small country". The history behind this is that Argentina owned the islands until 1833 when they were seized by the British. Also, the British invaded Argentina's mainland twice. So, despite British citizens have been in the islands for 170 doesn't make them there true owners. On the other hand, besides the war episode which was triggered by dictatorial government in Argentina, the relations between both countries have been very good and peaceful. So, with no doubt, the Malvina's islands are Argentinean. Nice article! Just one comment.

And in the furthest southern parts of Argentina and Chile, there is alot of rain, storms, hail, high winds and snow. But you are probably right it is not sunny there all the time.

The weather can't be that good all the time though, can it? When I think of South America, I always imagine gorgeous weather and clear, blue skies like in those photos.
