The paper reconsiders some common assumptions we usually make about British titles by locating them in a place of insular remoteness and in a time of climate change. To this end, it focuses on one of the remotest geographical areas of the world: the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and the South Sandwich Islands, literally located at the “uttermost part of the Earth.”
