The Falkland Islands are a thinly populated group of islands located in the South Atlantic Ocean or the Argentine Sea, to the east of southern Argentina. The islands are a British Overseas Territory, but due to Argentina's claim to the archipelago, the Falklands War occurred in 1982. The climate in the Falkland Islands is characterised by cool temperatures throughout the year. There is rainfall and strong winds all year round.
