They extend on a raster measuring around 260 km. East to West and 160 km. North to South.
Formed by some 100 islands -many of them small and uninhabited- it has a total area of 12,000 square kilometers. The two largest ones, 6,350 sq.km. and 4,500 sq. km., separated by a branch of the sea running NE to SW, the Falkland Sound (Canal San Carlos), concentrate most of the population and productive activities.
The climate is sub-antarctic and oceanic and consequently, it is cold and humid, with constant winds.
