Miquelon Island, French territory island in Saint Pierre and Miquelon, North America
The northern section of Miquelon-Langlade extends for 6 kilometers, featuring rugged hills that rise to 240 meters at Morne de la Grande Montagne.
The island changed ownership multiple times between France and Britain from 1713 to 1815, until the Treaty of Paris permanently returned it to France.
The local residents maintain French citizenship, participate in French elections, and preserve their maritime traditions through fishing activities and seafood-based cuisine.
Visitors can reach Miquelon Island by taking a ferry service from Fortune, Newfoundland, with necessary customs checks and Euro currency requirements.
The island forms part of the last remaining French territory in North America, located just 25 kilometers from the Canadian province of Newfoundland.

This collection encompasses the world's smallest countries and territories by land area, measured including lakes and rivers within their borders. The list features both independent sovereign states and dependent territories with varying political statuses. From Vatican City at 0.4 square kilometers to Monaco and San Marino in Europe, and island nations in the Caribbean such as Saint Kitts and Nevis, this selection demonstrates the geographic diversity of compact territories. The European microstates offer medieval fortifications, princely palaces, and modern financial districts within limited spaces. Pacific atolls like Nauru and Tuvalu present coral formations and tropical coastlines, while Caribbean islands combine volcanic mountains, rainforests, and colonial architecture. Despite their limited size, these countries and territories maintain their own governmental systems, cultures, and economic models ranging from tourism and financial services to fishing and agriculture.
