"Off any beaten track or road, VERY carefully everywhere you tread..."

talk to the locals - they know where any mines are

even only suspected areas are roped off and have warning signs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_m...lkland_Islands I don't think anyone has been hurt in many years........... 6 peopel were killed or injured demining straight after the war but only one minor injury in recent years (a Zimbabwean de-miner)

"Many of the Falkland Islanders opposed the demining operation. They stated that as the mine fields were clearly marked and there was little demand for the land it would be more cost effective and better for the environment for the mines to remain. There are fears that opening up mine fields to tourists and farmers will lead to habitat destruction."
