The Falkland Islands, also known as the Malvinas, is a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean. The archipelago consists of two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland, along with about 778 smaller islands. The islands are known for their remote location and rugged natural beauty, with vast open spaces and abundant wildlife. The Falkland Islands are a self-governing territory with their own democratically elected government. The economy is primarily based on fishing, agriculture, and tourism. The islands have been at the center of a territorial dispute between the United Kingdom and Argentina, which led to the Falklands War in 1982. The population is predominantly of British descent, with English being the official language. Stanley, located on East Falkland, is the capital and largest city of the Falkland Islands.
