They are 300 miles (483 km) from the South American mainland.The Falkland Islands comprise two main Islands (East and West Falkland) and some 700 smaller islands, a total land area of approximately 4,700 square miles (12,173 square km), comparable in area with Northern Ireland, but spread to a much greater extent. The distance from Stanley, on the extreme east, to New Island, on the extreme west, is some 148 miles (238 km)."
