An archipelago in the English Channel south of the UK. British territory. In France it is called the Îles Normandes (Normandy Islands). It is located west of the Cotentin (Normandy) Peninsula in France, at the entrance to the Bay of Saint-Malo, and is made up of the four main islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark, with a total area of 195 km2 and a population of about 150,000 (1995). As part of the Palaeozoic Armorican Mountains, it has a wide area of flat land and a warm maritime climate, so its main industries are the forced cultivation of tomatoes, potatoes, flowers and fruit trees, and dairy farming, known for the Jersey and Guernsey dairy cows, which are shipped to the UK mainland market.
