| | | | Sovereignty of the Falkland Islands - First Settlements: Encyclopedia II - Sovereignty of the Falkland Islands - Confrontation In 1976, Argentina landed an expedition in Southern Thule, an island in the South Sandwich Islands which at that time was part of the Falkland Islands Dependency. The landing was only reported in the UK in 1978, although the UK government stated a rejection of the notion of sending a force of Royal Marines to expel the Argentine base, Corbeta Uruguay.
