Goose Green Liberated of Landmines after more than 35 Years

As Mercopress have reported in a series of articles over the past eight years, the Falkland Islands are slowly being cleared of the landmines laid by Argentine forces during the 1982 war. Last week this process reached a key milestone when Goose Green settlement, the site of a key battle in late May 1982, was announced as being mine-free.

Goose Green is the second largest civilian settlement in the Islands. It is the largest of the three farms on East Falklands owned by a locally-registered statutory corporation called Falkland Landholdings.
