Port-aux-Français

Îles Kerguelen or the Kerguelen Archipelago are 3300 km southeast of Madagascar, so far south that they lie in the Antarctic Ocean, not the Indian. They're governed as part of the Terres australes et antarctiques françaises, the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. The main island, Grande Terre, is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth, populated year-round by a crew of 25 to 125 scientists.
