&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The '''British Isles''' is a group of islands off the northwest coast of continental [[Europe]] comprising [[Great Britain]], [[Ireland]] and a number of smaller islands. In remote ancient times they formed part of the European continental land mass.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are two sovereign states located on the islands: the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland]] and the [[Republic of Ireland]]. The group also includes the crown dependencies of the [[Isle of Man]] and the [[Channel Islands]], although the latter are not physically a part of the British Isles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term British Isles, used by the Roman cartographers, is today controversial in the Irish Republic where its use is objected to by many people and by their government. Its use is also avoided in relations between the governments of the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, who generally employ the term 'these islands'.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The islands extend from Les Minquiers Reef, Jersey, in the south (or Pednathise Head, Isles of Scilly if the Channel Islands are excluded), to Out Stack, Shetland in the north; and from Tearaght island, western Ireland, to Lowestoft Ness, England in the east. There are more than 6,000 islands, amounting to a total land area of 315,134 km² (121,674 square miles).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much of the British Isles is low lying and fertile, although there are mountainous areas in all regions except southern England and East Anglia. The islands are characterised by an unusually temperate climate for their latitude, due to their location in the Gulf Stream. The regional geology is complex, formed by the drifting together of separate tectonic plates and subsequent orogenic, glacial and weather erosion.&lt;br /&gt;
