摘要

Known in earlier days as the Islands of Desolation, Îles Kerguelen, named after the archipelago's eighteenth-century discoverer, is one of the groups of French sub-Antarctic islands more than 2000 miles to the southeast of the Cape of Good Hope, and administered by TAAF (Terres australes et antarctiques françaises) since the mid-twentieth century.
