San Martín (Isla)

"La isla de San Martín (en francés, Saint-Martin; en neerlandés, Sint Maarten) es una isla ubicada en el mar Caribe, aproximadamente a 240 km al este de la isla de Puerto Rico. La isla, de 88 km² de superficie, está dividida en dos: la parte norte es la colectividad de ultramar francesa de San Martín, formada en 2007 después de su secesión del departamento de ultramar de Guadalupe, mientras que la parte sur corresponde a Sint Maarten, un país autónomo que forma parte del Reino de los Países Bajos y que fue parte hasta el 10 de octubre de 2010 de las Antillas Neerlandesas. Colectivamente, ambos territorios son conocidos como St. Martin/St. Maarten o St. Martins.Las principales ciudades son Marigot, en el lado francés, y Philipsburg, en el lado neerlandés."

"Saint Martin (French: Saint-Martin; Dutch: Sint Maarten) is an island in the northeast Caribbean, approximately 300 km (190 mi) east of Puerto Rico. The 87-square-kilometre (34 sq mi) island is divided roughly 60/40 between France (53 km2, 20 sq mi) and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (34 km2, 13 sq mi); the two parts are roughly equal in population though, with slightly more people living on the Dutch side. It is the smallest inhabited island divided between two nations. The division dates to 1648. The southern Dutch part comprises Sint Maarten and is one of four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The northern French part comprises the Collectivité de Saint-Martin (Collectivity of St Martin) and is an overseas collectivity of France. On 1 January 2009, the population of the whole island was 77,741 inhabitants, with 40,917 living on the Dutch side, and 36,824 on the French side. Collectively, the two territories are known as "St-Martin / St Maarten". Sometimes SXM, the IATA identifier for Princess Juliana International Airport (the island's main airport), is used to refer to the island."
