French Guiana, the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and the Republic of Suriname are located on the Caribbean/North Atlantic coast of South America. French Guiana is a dependency of France and was the site of the notorious penal settlement of Devil's Island.

Guyana was originally a Dutch colony, became a British possession by 1815, and granted indpendence in 1966.

The Falkland Islands (Islas Mavinas) in the southern Atlantic Ocean is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom and also claimed by Argentina.

The Argentine Republic, (commonly referred to as Argentina) is located in southern South America, between the Andes Mountains in the west and the southern Atlantic Ocean in the east and south. Argentina is bordered by Paraguay and Bolivia to the north, Brazil and Uruguay on the northeast, and Chile on the south and west. Argentina also claims the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands (disputed with Great Britain) and part of Antarctica as the Argentine Antarctica (disputed with Chile).

Argentina's terrain is divided into the fertlle Pampas plains in the north, the plateau of Patagonia down to Tierra del Fuego in the south and the Andes Mountains along the western Chilean border.

The name Argentina comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum (Ag in the periodic table).

Suriname is the smallest independent country in South America. Eighty percent of Suriname's area is covered with rainforests, the remaining lowland coastal area along the Caribbean is cultivated and has the largest portion of the population, which include descendents of contract laborers from the Middle East, Java, and China, and West African slaves from the colonial plantation period. Twelve percent of Suriname is national parks and lakes, having been cited by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site for its biodiversity. Anna Maria Sibylla Merian was an artist and naturalist who spent several years c. 1700 in the Dutch colony recording the plants and insects.
