Golding Island

Golding Island is one of the Falkland Islands, just to the north of West Falkland in Keppel Sound and near Keppel and Pebble Islands. It has a complex shape, with narrow headlands and bays, and a pond in the middle.
Golding Island is a sheep farm, and was previously farmed together with Pebble Island and Keppel Island by the Dean Brothers. The settlement is in the south east, near Hummock Point.
After a raid on San Carlos Water during the Falklands War, Capitan Garcia, an Argentine airman, ejected from his aircraft, an Argentine A-4C Skyhawk. At the time, his body was not recovered, but was washed ashore in a dinghy in 1983. The island was also bombed during the War by the Argentines who thought that they picked up a radio transmission from here.
