evidence: The South Sandwich Islands (Spanish: Islas Sandwich del Sur) are a chain of uninhabited volcanic islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. They are administered as part of the British Overseas Territory of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The chain lies in the sub-Antarctic region, about 700 kilometres (430 mi) southeast of South Georgia and 1,700 kilometres (1,100 mi) northeast from the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. [...] The United Kingdom formally annexed the South Sandwich Islands through letters patent in 1908, grouping them with other British-held territory in Antarctica as the Falkland Islands Dependencies. [...] The territory of "South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands" was formed in 1985;[2] previously, both archipelagos had been governed as part of the Falkland Islands Dependencies.
