Sixty miles south of Sicily, and one hundred twenty miles north of Africa, the Maltese islands are almost exactly in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. A high point on Gozo can be seen from a high point in Sicily on a very clear day. But from sea level, the islands are not visible from other land. The islands of Malta sit on
the northernmost edge of the African tectonic plate. They are made
of limestone formed millions of years ago from shells on the bottom
of the sea. They are not volcanic. The three inhabited islands are: Malta, Gozo and Comino.
