Malvinas Islands

The Malvinas Islands, known internationally as the Falkland Islands, are a remote archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean. They consist of two main islands and numerous smaller ones, with a mix of rugged terrain, rich wildlife, and a small, mainly British population. The islands are a British Overseas Territory but are claimed by Argentina, which calls them "Islas Malvinas." The sovereignty dispute led to the Falklands War in 1982. Today, the islands have a stable government, a thriving fishing industry, and tourism centered on their natural beauty and history. The relationship between Britain and Argentina remains complex and unresolved.
