What major islands lay just to the east of Argentina? Galapagos Islands Canary Islands Falkland Islands South Sandwich Islands

The Falkland Islands, located about 300 miles east of the coast of Argentina, are a British Overseas Territory known for their rugged terrain and wildlife, including penguins and sea lions. They have a rich history tied to colonialism and a conflict with Argentina in 1982, which adds a layer of intrigue to their relatively remote setting. The South Sandwich Islands, part of a volcanic archipelago, also reside east of Argentina but are mostly uninhabited and known for their dramatic landscapes and active volcanic activity. These islands are a haven for research on marine life and geology and are generally less frequented due to their harsh weather conditions.
