Christ Church Cathedral on Ross Road, in Stanley, Falkland Islands, is the southernmost Anglican cathedral in the world. The church was designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield and built in 1890–1892 from the local stone and brick.
The Cathedral is built on the site of Holy Trinity Church, which was destroyed by a peat slip in 1886.
In the front of this church stands a monument - whalebone arch, made from the jaws of two blue whales. The monument was raised in 1933 to commemorate the centenary of the British rule in Falkland Islands.
