 '''கேர்கைலன் பீடபூமி ''' அல்லது '''கேர்கெலென் பீடபூமி''' (''Kerguelen Plateau'',{{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|ɜr|ɡ|əl|ən}}, {{IPAc-en|k|ər|ˈ|ɡ|eɪ|l|ən}})&lt;ref&gt;ஆக்சுபோர்டு ஆங்கில அகரமுதலி&lt;/ref&gt; தெற்கு [[இந்தியப் பெருங்கடல்|இந்தியப் பெருங்கடலில்]] உள்ள கடற்படுகை பீடபூமியும் பெரும் அனற்பாறை திரட்சியும் (LIP) ஆகும்.&lt;ref&gt;{{Harvnb|UT Austin 1999}}&lt;/ref&gt;  இது ஒரு குறுங்கண்டமும்  [[மூழ்கிய கண்டங்கள்|மூழ்கிய கண்டமும்]] ஆகும். இது [[ஆத்திரேலியா]]விற்குத் தென்மேற்கே 3,000&amp;nbsp;கிமீ தொலைவில் அமைந்துள்ளது. இப்பீடபூமி  [[ஜப்பான்|சப்பானைப்]] போல மூன்று மடங்கு பெரியது. இந்தப் [[பீடபூமி]] வடமேற்கு-தென்கிழக்கு திசையாக 2,200&amp;nbsp;கிமீ தொலைவிற்கு நீரினடியில் பெரும் ஆழத்தில்  அமைந்துள்ளது.
 
 இந்தப் பீடபூமி [[கெர்கைலன் கடல் எரிமலை]]யால் உருவாகியுள்ளது; 130 மில்லியன் ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்னர் [[கோண்டுவானா]] பிரிந்ததிலிருந்து உருவாகத் தொடங்கியது. இந்தப் பீடபூமியின் சிறுபகுதி [[கடல் மட்டம்|கடல் மட்டத்திற்கு]] மேலே உள்ளது.  இவை  பிரெஞ்சுப் பகுதியான கெர்கைலன் தீவும் ஆத்திரேலியப் பகுதியான [[ஏர்ட் தீவும் மக்டொனால்ட் தீவும்]] ஆகும்.  ஏர்ட் தீவிலும் மக்டொனால்ட் தீவிலும் எரிமலைகள் அவ்வப்போது குமுறுகின்றன.
