If you look at the map on the above link, that distance is not straight East to West, its to the center of Argentina, SE to NW. I checked a couple of web sites, and they all measure a longer, diagonal distance, that gives a false impression of longer distances.
If you use the Google Maps measuring tool, and you measure from the West coast of the islands to the East coast of Argentina, going directly East to West, you get this answer …
Total distance: 338.20 mi (544.28 km)
The Malvinas are allot closer than Hawaii is to the US.
@CosmicCleric and still massively outside any recognised concept of territorial waters, not that that matters because a country that wasn’t even you, which still exists, which you erroneously claim to be the true continuation of, planting a flag somewhere and then abandoning it for hundreds of years doesn’t give you any kind of right to tell the only people who have every actually built a community there in the history of the world that they need to leave their home.
