East Falkland, one of the two major islands of the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is 90 miles (140 km) long and 55 miles (88 km) wide and rises to 2,312 feet (705 metres) at Mount Usborne. The coastline is deeply indented, particularly at the midsection, where only a narrow bridge of land connects the island’s northern and southern regions. The town of Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands, is on the northeast shore. The small settlements of Darwin and Goose Green lie on the narrow land bridge. Port San Carlos and Port Salvador are in the northwest and north, respectively. The total area of East Falkland is 2,550 square miles (6,605 square km), excluding adjacent small islands.
