French Austral Lands and Seas
French Southern Territories and Waters include the largest rare surface landmass in the South Indian Ocean: the Crozet, Kerguelen, Saint-Paul and Amsterdam Islands, as well as 60 small subantarctic islands. This "oasis" in the middle of the Southern Ocean covers an area of more than 67 million hectares and is home to one of the highest concentrations of birds and marine mammals in the world. In particular, it is home to the world's largest populations of king penguins and yellow-nosed albatrosses. Far from centres of human activity, the islands represent an exceptionally well-preserved showcase of biological evolution and a unique terrain for scientific research.
Palau de la Música Catalana and Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona
These are two of the most significant contributions to Barcelona architecture by Catalan Art Nouveau architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. The Palau de la Música Catalana is a vibrant steel-frame building filled with light and space, decorated by many of the leading designers of the time. The Hospital de Sant Pau is equally bold in design and decoration, while perfectly meeting the needs of patients.
