French Southern and Antarctic Lands
The French Southern and Antarctic Lands (, TAAF) is an overseas territory ( or ) of France. It consists of:* ''Adélie Land'' (), the French claim on the continent of Antarctica. * Crozet Islands (), a group in the southern Indian Ocean, south of Madagascar. * Kerguelen Islands (), a group of volcanic islands in the southern Indian Ocean, southeast of Africa. * Saint Paul and Amsterdam Islands (), a group to the north of the Kerguelen Islands. * Scattered Islands (), a dispersed group of islands around the coast of Madagascar.
The territory is sometimes referred to as the French Southern Lands () or the French Southern Territories, usually to emphasize non-recognition of French sovereignty over Adélie Land as part of the Antarctic Treaty System.
The entire territory has no known permanently settled inhabitants. Approximately 150 (in the winter) to 310 (in the summer) people are usually present in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands at any time, but they are mainly made up of military personnel, officials, scientific researchers and support staff.
On 5 July 2019, the Crozet Islands, the Kerguelen Islands, and the Saint Paul and Amsterdam Islands were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as the "French Austral Lands and Seas" because of their pristine wilderness, biodiversity, and enormous bird colonies. Provided by Wikipedia
