GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION. TERRITORY

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK for short) is situated on a group of islands lying off the North-west coast pf Europe. The total area of the country is 94,217 square miles (244,021 sq. km) of which nearly 99 per cent is land and the remainder inland water. The UK is a small country. It is twice smaller than France or Spain. The UK’s territory is 2 per cent of the inhabited territory of the world, claiming the 75^th place among other countries.

The northernmost point of the UK is in latitude 60° North and the southernmost part of Britain is in latitude 50° North. The prime meridian of 0° (or the zero longitude line) passes through the old Observatory of Greenwich in London. The time in every country in the world is calculated from this line.

Of all the island comprising the territory of the UK, Great Britain is the largest, being the biggest island in Europe and the 7^th largest in the world. It is 300 miles (483 km) across at its videst, 60km at its narrowest, and 600 miles (966 km) long at its longest.

The second largest island is Ireland, which lies to the west of Great Britain and is separated from it by the North Channel and the Irish Sea. The total area of 6 countries, making Northern Ireland, covers 5452 sq. miles (14120 sq. km). Among the smaller coastal islands forming administrative countries of the UK are the Isle of White, situated off the southern coast of England, the Isles of Scilly – off the extreme south-west and Anglesey – off north of Wales.

Western Scotland is fringed by numerous islands – the Hebrides. To the north and far north of Scotland are the important groups of the Orkneys and the Shetlands. All these islands have administrative ties with the mainland. But two islands the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea and the Channel Islands in the English Channel, lying south of England and forming an archipelago, have a large measure of administrative autonomy and strictly are not part of the UK but are dependencies of the Crown.
