Autonomous city cartography
Introduction
The territory of the Argentine Republic is the second largest in South America after Brazil, fourth in all of America and the eighth largest on Earth. If you count the territories claimed in Antarctica, Malvinas, South Georgia and the South Sandwich, it makes it the seventh largest country in the world.
It borders Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Its geography is very varied, with mostly plains in the east, mountain ranges in the center and mountains in the west. The country is crossed, at its western end, from north to south by the Andes mountain range. The highest peak in Argentina is Aconcagua, 6960.8 m above sea level. n. m.
The Argentine territory under effective sovereignty has a great longitudinal development: 3,700 kilometers between the extreme north and the extreme south, from Santa Catalina (Jujuy) "Santa Catalina (Jujuy)") to Ushuaia,[2] which makes it one of the longest countries in the world.
The American continental surface of Argentina is 2,791,820 km².[3] Of these, 2,780,400 km² correspond to the national area under effective sovereignty,[4] corresponding to the Federal Capital (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires) and 23 Argentine provinces. The rest is made up of the 11,410 km² of the Malvinas Islands, territories in dispute with the United Kingdom, the country that controls them.[5].
The Antarctic continental surface - the area under the postulates of the Antarctic Treaty - comprises 969,464 km². Of these, about 965,597 km² correspond to Argentine Antarctica (claimed territory). In addition, this area includes the South Shetland Islands and the South Orkney Islands. The remaining 3,867 km² are made up of the South Georgia Islands (3,560 km²) and the South Sandwich Islands (307 km²), which are part of the South Atlantic Islands department of the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and the South Atlantic Islands, as well as the Antarctic sector (included as a department).
The total area would thus rise to 3,761,274 km². Even so, this figure does not include: the Argentine oceanic strip of 200 nautical miles corresponding to the Argentine Sea, nor the waters of the Río de la Plata. On the other hand, due to the United Kingdom's intention to extend its maritime area to 350 nautical miles (about 564 km) from the low-tide coastline, starting from territories claimed by Argentina, or occupied by the United Kingdom but that are in dispute with Argentina, the maritime extension claims of both countries overlap, both in the South Atlantic islands and in the projection from the Antarctic continent and its islands.
