Mare Harbour is a small settlement on East Falkland, on Choiseul Sound. It is mostly used as a port facility and depot for RAF Mount Pleasant, as well as a deepwater port used by the Royal Navy ships patrolling the South Atlantic and Antarctica, which means that the main harbour of the islands, Stanley Harbour tends to deal with commercial transport. During the 1982 Falklands War, Mare Harbour was considered as one of the potential sites for a British amphibious landing〔Bicheno, Hugh (2006) ''Razor's Edge: The Unofficial History of the Falklands War''. London. Weidenfield & Nicholson. ISBN 978-0-7538-2186-2〕 but the British landings took place on San Carlos Water in the west of East Falkland, on Falkland Sound. Mare Harbour was considered open to air attack. A daily bus service (including Saturday and Sunday) runs between Mare Harbour and Mount Pleasant. ==See also== * Military of the Falkland Islands * RAF Mount Pleasant 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mare Harbour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
