Filfla
Filfla is a small, mostly barren, uninhabited islet south of Malta, and is the most southerly point of the Maltese Archipelago. ''Filfoletta'' (or ''Filflett''), a small rocky islet some southwest of Filfla,〔("Topography and Flora of the Satellite islets surrounding the Maltese Archipelago" ) - Arnold Sciberras, Jeffrey Sciberras, 2010〕 has the southernmost point of Malta. The name is believed to come from ''filfel'', the Arabic for a peppercorn.
==Environment==
Filfla has an area of just and is a crumbling flat-topped limestone plateau surrounded by high cliffs. Three species of seabirds breed on the islet: the European storm petrel (with an estimated 5000 - 8000 pairs), Cory's shearwater (c. 200 pairs) and yellow-legged gull (c. 130 pairs). The island has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International, principally because of the storm petrel colony. A type of wall lizard (''Podarcis filfolensis'' ssp. ''filfolensis'') and door snail (''Lampedusa imitatrix gattoi'') are endemic to Filfla. A large wild leek, growing up to high, also occurs. Access to Filfla is only possible for educational or scientific purposes and visitors must get prior permission from the Ministry responsible for the environment.
