Hoste Inlet
52°06′58″S 60°43′12″W / 52.116°S 60.720°W Hoste Inlet is a settlement on West Falkland, in the Falkland Islands. It is on the far south west of the island, and Port Stephens is the nearest other settlement.[1] The former settlement of Port Albemarle is just across a small isthmus. Dean's river, which rises on mounts Alice, Young and Dean, flows out into the sea through Port Stephens and Hoste Inlet, is known to have a population of zebra trout.[2][3] At the north entrance to the inlet is Mount Whitford (550 feet (170 m)), named after a serviceman who died in the Falklands War.[4]
The inlet is known for breeding pairs of gentoo penguins; in 1995, a survey recorded 66 nests.[5]
