Which two countries own the Virgin Islands?

Virgin Islands, group of about 90 small islands, islets, cays, and rocks in the West Indies, situated some 40 to 50 miles (64 to 80 kilometres) east of Puerto Rico. The islands extend from west to east for about 60 miles and are located west of the Anegada Passage, a major channel connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Their combined land area is about 195 square miles (505 square kilometres).

The islands are administered in two groups, the British Virgin Islands and the United States Virgin Islands. The former is a British colony consisting of four larger islands Tortola, Anegada, Virgin Gorda, and Jost Van Dyke and 32 smaller islands and islets, of which more than 20 are uninhabited. Their total area is 59 square miles, and they lie to the north and east of the U.S. islands. The latter group, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior as an unincorporated territory, consists of three larger islands St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas and some 50 smaller islets and cays, with a total area of 133 square miles.
