The slopes of Wickham Heights feature numerous stone runs, some of them extending up to 3 miles long.
The Wickham Heights are in the northern portion of East Falkland, running east and west, and rising in some places to a height of nearly 2000 feet. They form the "spine" of the East Falkland north of Lafonia.
Rivers and streams such as the Malo River and San Carlos River spring in the Wickham Heights.
