Blackburn River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Blackburn River is on West Falkland in the Falkland Islands. It is in the north of the island, and empties into Byron Sound. The name is a tautology, since "burn" is a Lowland Scots/Northern English word referring to a small river or large brook.[1][2]
