Home Page About Us Tourism Environment ... Links Situated in the South Atlantic, the Falkland Islands lie between Latitude 51º and 53ºS and Longitude 57º and 62ºW - about the same latitude south as London lies north. They are 300 miles (483 km) from the South American mainland.The Falkland Islands comprise two main Islands (East and West Falkland) and some 700 smaller islands, a total land area of approximately 4,700 square miles (12,173 square km), comparable in area with Northern Ireland, but spread to a much greater extent. The distance from Stanley, on the extreme east, to New Island, on the extreme west, is some 148 miles (238 km). The coastline is deeply indented and affords many good anchorages. There are no major inland waters. Topographically the Islands are generally hilly with the highest point being Mount Usborne at 2,312 ft (705m) in East Falkland and Mount Adam at 2,297 ft (700m) in West Falkland. Most of the uplands are comparatively bare of vegetation, being of eroded peat, scree and stone runs ('rivers' of angular quartzite boulders). Because of the climate there are few trees, the natural vegetation being grassland, with some species of heath and dwarf shrubs. Bird and marine mammal life, such as geese, penguins, seabirds and seals, are diverse and relatively unspoiled. There are no native land animals. Legislation provides for the protection of most birds and certain mammals and for the establishment of some islands as wildlife sanctuaries and reserves.

The islands are administered as a British crown colony with the capital at Stanley. There are two large islands (East Falkland and West Falkland) and some 200 small ones. From 1908 to 1985 South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands were dependencies of the colony. The Falklands are rather bleak, rocky moorlands, swept by wind and drenched by chill rain. The population is almost entirely British, Christian, and English-speaking. The islands are flourishing sheep-raising centers. The economy is dependent on the export of wool and the sale of Falkland Islands postage stamps and coins. Whales and seals abound in the littoral waters and formerly were heavily hunted. There are rich fishing grounds surrounding the islands and the government began selling licenses to foreign commercial fishing operations in 1987. Oil exploration around the islands began in the early 1990s.
