I’m looking for help with this expression:
…más probable en las de mayor relieve…
Could it mean:
more likely in those with less relief.
I’m not entirely sure what the ‘las’ refers to here.

I think it must mean "more likely in those islands (las islas) which are more rugged/mountainous". Some islands are hilly/mountainous, (e.g.Tenerife) but some are quite flat (e.g. Fuerteventura), so that some get rain, others might not. This tends to be a pattern - Tenerife has its own water in aquifers fed by rain in the north, but Fuerteventura has no natural water.
