I had wondered about that too because of the more famous Shetland Islands off the coast of Scotland.Susan W.

Actually several things, a new place on the planet, Google Earth does not know every place, and to research more before correcting the professor.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274031278622365949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706799725776420299.post-55072972537958258822010-12-11T08:15:55.895-06:002010-12-11T08:15:55.895-06:00Thank you for your interest, Earl.

And, from what I can see from a quick look at the geography, they're not the same. The (South) Shetland Islands are 120 km north of the Antarctic Peninsula and have an area of 3,687 sq. km. The Falklands are 460 km from the coast of South America and have an area of 12,173 sq. km. I will keep an eye out for further news, or please post again if this still needs to be corrected.Susan W.
