the Falkland Islands
The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago located west of the equator in the Pacific Ocean. They are famous for their unique wildlife and played a significant role in Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
The islands located south of the equator at 60 west longitude are part of the South Sandwich Islands. This remote British Overseas Territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean consists of a chain of 11 volcanic islands.

The equator passes through São Tomé and Príncipe island in the Atlantic. The equator passes through Batu Islands, Sumatra, Lingga Islands, Borneo, Sulawesi, Kayoa, Halmahera Islands and Gebe Island (all part of Indonesia) as well as Isabela Island in the Galápagos Islands in the Pacific.
The Galapagos Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean about 575 miles west of the South American continent. They are a territory of the nation of Ecuador.
The Galápagos Islands are located approximately 600 miles (about 1,000 kilometers) west of the Ecuadorian coast and straddle the equator. The archipelago's northernmost islands are just a few miles north of the equator, while some of the southern islands extend slightly into the southern hemisphere. This unique positioning contributes to the islands' rich biodiversity and distinct ecosystems.
The West Indies are generally farther south than the Philippine Islands. The southernmost point of the West Indies is located in Trinidad and Tobago, which lies just above the equator. In contrast, the southernmost point of the Philippine Islands is in Mindanao, which is further north than the southernmost West Indian islands. Therefore, the West Indies are farther south.
