Summary:Literary criticism rarely focuses on travel literature about ultra-peripheral island regions such as the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. This network of scattered archipelagos has triggered dreams and nightmares for centuries. In this study, we will focus on Jean-Paul Kauffmann's Arch of Kerguelen: Voyage to the Islands of Desolation to analyze the representation of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands as an irrepresentable island-prison that escapes the modern traveler, despite the literary texts that accompany him.
