| 词条 | Government House, Falkland Islands |
| 释义 |
Government House in Stanley has been the home of the Falkland Islands' London-appointed Governors since the mid-19th century. The official residence was built in 1845. The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica says in the Falkland Islands article that "Government House, grey, stone-built and slated, calls to mind a manse in Shetland or Orkney." Sir Ernest Shackleton stayed here during his famous expedition. Allegedly, he described his time there as being "far colder than any time on the ice".{{Citation needed|date=May 2008}} Whether that refers to the welcome he received or the temperature is not clear. It is a listed building.[1] It was the site of a major battle during the Argentine invasion of the Falklands in 1982. See also
