KERGUELEN
The Kerguelen Islands, also known as the Desolation Islands, are a group of islands in the southern Indian Ocean. There are no airports on the islands, so all travel and transport from the outside world is conducted by ship. France maintains a permanent presence of 45 to 100 scientists, engineers and researchers.

ÎLES SAINT-PAUL ET AMSTERDAM
Île Saint-Paul is located about 3,000 km southeast of Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean. The island is the top of an active volcano and it is rocky with steep cliffs on the east side. It is an important breeding site for seabirds. A scientific research cabin on the island is used for scientific or ecological short campaigns, but there is no permanent population.
Île Amsterdam lies in the southern Indian Ocean. There is only one settlement on the island and is home to about thirty non-permanent inhabitants involved in biological, meteorological and geomagnetic studies.
