| Abstract: | The Maltese Islands are a group of small, low islands aligned in a NW-SE direction and located in the central Mediterranean at latitude: 35' 48'28" - 36'05'00" North and longitude: 14'11'04"- 14'34'37" East. They are situated on a shallow shelf, the Malta-Ragusa Rise, part of the submarine ridge which extends from the Ragusa Peninsula of Sicily southwards to the African coasts of Trtpoli and Libya. The islands lie approximately 96 km from Sicily and 290 km from North Africa. The Maltese Archipelago consists of three inhabited islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino and a number of small uninhabited islets. |
