Falkland Islands
Falkland Islands (in Danish called Malvinas islands after Argentina’s name) is an archipelago in the South Atlantic. The archipelago consists of two main islands, East Falkland and West Falkland as well as a number of smaller islands. The islands are administered largely as a self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom (UK). The administration has its headquarters in the town of Stanley (formerly Port Stanley) on the island of East Falkland. Argentina sees the islands as part of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego, and claims the islands and designate them by their Spanish name Islas Malvinas.
