French Austral Lands and Seas
World Heritage
France
🎧 Listen to Introduction
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.
