French Southern and Antarctic Lands (France)

The French Southern and Antarctic Lands (French: Terres australes et antarctiques françaises, TAAF), in full the Territory of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (French: Territoire des Terres australes et antarctiques françaises) is an overseas territory (French: Territoire d'outre-mer or TOM) of France.

It consists of:

- Kerguelen (Archipel des Kerguelen), a group of volcanic islands in the southern Indian Ocean, southeast of Africa, approximately equidistant between Africa, Antarctica and Australia;

- St. Paul and Amsterdam islands (Îles Saint Paul et Amsterdam), a group to the north of Kerguelen;

- Crozet Islands (Îles Crozet), a group in the southern Indian Ocean, south of Madagascar;

- Adélie Land (Terre Adélie), the French claim on the Antarctica continent;

- the Scattered Islands (Îles Éparses), a dispersed group of islands around the coast of Madagascar.

 

Just to remind those territories without any touristic infrastructure. We have no plans to go in those remote islands and territories.
