and the tiny, uninhabited islands of Cominotto and Filfla.
The total land area is 316 square km, of which the area of
the largest island, Malta, is 246 square km.
The islands consist of
low-lying coralline limestone plateaus surrounded by
impermeable clay slopes. The highest point is 239m above sea

The climate is dry and
temperate, with a mean temperature of 19°C. Winters are
moist and mild and summers are hot and dry but moderated by

Mediterranean nation is currently sixth in the overall
medals table, with its highest ranking of fourth place
achieved at home in 2003.
