The group's overall size is in area and it has of coastline. Discovered in the mid-19th century, the islands have been an Australian territory since 1947 and contain the country's only two active volcanoes.

Romanticism was characterized by its emphasis on emotion and individualism as well as glorification of all the past and nature, preferring the medieval rather than the classical. It was partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, the aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific rationalization of nature. It was embodied most strongly in the visual arts, music, and literature, but had a major impact on historiography, education, and the natural sciences. It had a significant and complex effect on politics, and while for much of the Romantic period it was associated with liberalism and radicalism, its long-term effect on the growth of nationalism was perhaps more significant. - The Kerguelen Plateau is an oceanic plateau and a large igneous province (LIP) in the southern Indian Ocean. It is also a microcontinent and submerged continent. It is about 3,000km to the southwest of Australia and is nearly three times the size of Japan. The plateau extends for more than 2,200km in a northwest-southeast direction and lies in deep water. - The Kerguelen Islands (or ; in French ' but officially '), also known as the Desolation Islands ("" in French), are a group of islands in the southern Indian Ocean constituting one of the two exposed parts of the mostly submerged Kerguelen Plateau. They are among the most isolated places on Earth, located 450km (280mi) northwest of the uninhabited Heard Island and McDonald Islands and more than from the nearest populated location, along Madagascar (except the Alfred Faure scientific station in Ile de la Possession, about 1340km from there, and non-permanent station located in Ile Amsterdam, 1,440km away). The islands, along with Adelie Land, the Crozet Islands, Amsterdam, and Saint Paul Islands, and France's Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean are part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands and are administered as a separate district. - An Antarctic Mystery ( French : Le Sphinx des glaces , The Sphinx of the Ice Fields ) is a two - volume novel by Jules Verne .

He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career. - Adelie Land ("French: Terre Adelie") is a claimed territory on the continent of Antarctica. It stretches from a coastline area along the Great Southern Ocean inland all the way to the South Pole. This territory is claimed by France as one of five districts of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, although most countries have not given this their diplomatic recognition. - The Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean (or "Iles eparses de l'ocean indien") consist of four small coral islands, an atoll, and a reef in the Indian Ocean, and have constituted the 5th district of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (TAAF) since February 2007. They have never had a permanent population. Two of the islands Juan de Nova and Europa and the Bassas da India atoll lie in the Mozambique Channel west of Madagascar, while a third island, Tromelin, lies about east of Madagascar and the Glorioso Islands lies about northwest of Madagascar . Also in the Mozambique Channel is the Banc du Geyser, a reef under French control claimed by Madagascar since 1976. France and the Comoros view the Banc du Geyser as part of the Glorioso Islands.
