The archipelago of Falklands, also known as Malvinas, lies off the Patagonian coast (southern part of Argentina). Thus, the nearest continent is South America (480 km or 300 mi), and the second closest is Antarctica (1,210 km or 752 mi). The Falklands consist of an enormous number of islands - two larger ones (East and West Falkland) and 776 smaller ones. This territory is considered a British overseas territory but is self-governed. The archipelago area comprises 12,000 km² (4700 sq mi), and the population was estimated in 2021 at 3,662 inhabitants. People living in the Falklands are primarily British and Scandinavian descents. Regarding biogeography, the Falklands are part of the Antarctic zone, which explains the presence of various penguins - one of the main attractions on the islands. Come to the distant Falklands to enjoy solitude, quietness and remarkably diverse wildlife that have almost no rivals in the modern world.
