The Falkland Islands, also known as the Malvinas, are a British overseas territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. They are located approximately 300 miles (480 km) east of Argentina and about 8,000 miles (13,000 km) from the United Kingdom. The archipelago consists of two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland, and over 700 smaller islands.
The Falkland Islands have a population of around 3,500 people, and their economy is primarily based on fishing, agriculture, and tourism. The islands are also home to a large number of sheep, which provide wool for the local economy.
