		In 1975 the Gilbert Islands separated from the Ellice Islands to form Kiribati, and a new flag was adopted based on the coat of arms granted to the islands in 1937.
		It has waves of white and blue, for the Pacific Ocean, as well as a yellow sun and a local frigate bird.

	info: FLAG
		An heraldic coat of arms may also be flown as a banner of arms, as is done on both the state flag of Maryland and the republic flag of Kiribati.
		The study of flags is known as vexillology, from the Latin vexillum meaning flag or banner.
		Flags were initially created for signalling (as in semaphore), and for the identification of those who displayed them, and are still used for that purpose today.

		The Flag of the Provincia de Santa Cruz was first raised on October 12th of 2000 at El Chaltén, town of 200 habitants located at the feet of the Cerro from which took its name.
