Falkland Islands (Falkland Islands)

The Falkland Islands are located in the South Atlantic Ocean, about 500 kilometers from the east coast of Argentina, consisting of more than 200 islands, including East Falkland Island and West Falkland Island, with a total area of about 12,200 square kilometers. The sovereignty of the islands is disputed, the United Kingdom has actually controlled and set up as an overseas territory since 1833, while Argentina claims sovereignty over them, and the war on the Isle of Man broke out in 1982. The capital, Port Stanley, is the only town, with a population of about 3,000 (2023), and English is widely spoken. The economy is based on fishing, sheep farming and wool exports, with tourism on the rise in recent years and potential oil exploration under discussion. The islands are a pristine natural environment with abundant wildlife such as penguins and sea lions, making them an important area for ecotourism and scientific research.
