home resource directory disorders quizzes ... support forums Advertisement ( Falkland Islands The Falkland Islands are an archipelago in the South Atlantic consisting of two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland , and a number of smaller islands. They are administered as a largely self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom (UK) from Port Stanley , the capital and largest city, on East Falkland. Argentina , however, claims the islands, calling them by their Spanish name, Islas Malvinas (and the derived Malvinas Islands in English ) and considers them part of the Tierra del Fuego Province Argentina invaded the islands in , leading to the Falklands War in which they were retaken by the UK. The Argentines accuse the British of colonialism and emphasise decolonisation , whereas the British emphasise the right of the islanders, who consider themselves to be British, to self-determination . Although still a touchy diplomatic issue, international relations have improved in recent years.

Falkland Islands Maps "I am very impressed with your unusual range of maps" Justin K. Louis. US Department of State Map Library Falkland Islands Maps A visitor's map of the Falkland Islands at a scale of about 1:365,000, including a handy plan of the central port of Stanley. This map is designed to appeal especially to passengers on cruise ships that visit the Falklands, but will also interest those who explore the archipelago in other ways. It is illustrated with 24 colour photos and 6 black and white pictures. The Falkland Islands are an overseas territory of the United Kingdom, and are the same distance from the South Pole as Britain is from the North Pole. The nearest landmass is Tierra del Fuego, some 280 miles away in South America. The population is mainly of British descent and numbers about 2,500. There are 248 miles of roads in the Falklands, and no traffic lights. Features of the map include a historical time line, charting the islands' history from their discovery in the 16th century to the present day. There are also illustrated biographies of explorers and other notable people who have influenced the archipelago's history and development. Special sections review major events in the past, such as the ' Lexington incident'" of 1831, when an American warship sacked the small South American settlement and declared the islands 'free of all government'. Also discussed are the Falklands Conflict of 1982, as well as the islands' geography, climate, political status and economy.
