    Falkland Islands
    also called Malvinas Islands , Spanish Islas Malvinas
    internally self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom in the South  Atlantic Ocean. It lies about 300 miles (480 km) northeast of the southern tip  of South America and a similar distance east of the Strait of Magellan. The  capital and only town is Stanley, on East Falkland, but there are several small,  scattered settlements. In South America the islands are generally known as Islas  Malvinas, because early French settlers had named them Malovines in 1764, after  their home port of Saint-Malo, France. Area 4,700 square miles (12,200 square  km). Pop. (2012, excluding British military personnel stationed on the islands)  2,563.
