Marketing Background Notes For Falkland Islands There are no Background Notes for the Falkland Islands. GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE Situated in the South Atlantic, the Falkland Islands lie between latitude 51 and 53 S and longitude 57 and 62 W about the same latitude south as London lies north. They are 300 miles from the South American mainland. The Islands comprise two main Islands (East and West Falkland) and several hundred smaller islands, with a total land area of approximately 4,700 square miles (12,173 square km), comparable in area with Northern Ireland but spread over a much greater extent. The distance from Stanley, on the extreme east, to New Island on the extreme west, is some 148 miles. The coastline is deeply indented and there are no inland waters. Topographically the Islands are generally hilly with the highest point being Mount Usborne at 2,312 ft (705m) in East Falkland. Inland, the ground is covered by low shrubs, coarse grasses and ferns, with lichen-covered outcrops breaking the landscape. The climate is characterized by a narrow temperature range which varies from 19 C in January to 2 C in July with a mean annual temperature of approximately 6 C. Strong winds are common and the rainfall pattern is comparatively low and evenly distributed throughout the year averaging 24 inches (625 mm). Falkland winters tend not to be as severe as found in some parts of the United Kingdom, but are longer. Snow has been recorded in most months but seldom lies for long. Summers are not quite as hot but the Islands enjoy more hours of sunshine than the south of England.
