Heard Island and McDonald Islands in the Southern Ocean A map of Heard Island and McDonald Islands. Heard Island, by far the largest of the group, is a 368-square-kilometre (142 sq mi) mountainous island covered by 41 glaciers [21] (the island is 80% covered with ice [1]) and dominated by the Big Ben massif has a maximum elevation of 2,745 metres (9,006 ft) at
Las Islas Heard y McDonald son un conjunto de islas deshabitadas que forman un territorio externo de Australia desde 1947, situadas en el océano Índico.. La isla Heard es montañosa, dominada por el pico Mawson, un volcán de 2745 m de altura. Con esta altura, el pico Mawson se erige como la montaña más alta de Australia vecina, la isla McDonald es pequeña y rocosa.

L''isola Heard e le isole McDonald sono isole disabitate che si trovano nell''Oceano Antartico, a circa due terzi di distanza tra il Madagascar e l''Antartide.Esse costituiscono un territorio esterno australiano dal 1947 e contengono i due soli vulcani attivi presenti sul territorio australiano, uno dei quali (Mawson Peak) è anche la montagna australiana più elevata, con 2.745 metri.
HEARD AND MCDONALD ISLANDS AUSTRALIA Heard Island and the McDonald Islands are in the Southern Ocean, approximately 4,100 km south-west of Perth and 1,700 km from the Antarctic continent. Their distinctive conservation value is as one of the world''s rare pristine island ecosystems which have virtually no
Landing stores, Atlas Cove, Heard Island with Rogers Head in background Photo: Alan Campbell-Drury Due to the extreme isolation of Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI), together with the persistently severe weather and sea conditions, human activities in the region have been, and remain, limited.
The islands are a territory (Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands) of Australia administered from Hobart by the Australian Antarctic Division of the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
The group's overall land area is 372 km 2 (144 sq mi) and it has 101.9 km (63 mi) of coastline. Discovered in the mid-19th century, the islands lie on the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Ocean and have been an Australian territory since 1947. Heard Island and McDonald Islands contain Australia's only two active volcanoes.
Heard Island and the McDonald Islands have no ports or harbours; ships must anchor offshore. The coastline is 101.9 km (63.3 mi) in extent, and a 12 nmi (22 km) territorial sea and 200 nmi (370 km) exclusive fishing zone are claimed. [ 2 ]
According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Heard Island (Atlas Cove) receives an average of 96.8 snowy days annually. [ 30 ] Meteorological records at Heard Island are incomplete. The islands are part of the Southern Indian Ocean Islands tundra ecoregion that includes several subantarctic islands.
The fauna of the freshwater pools, lakes, streams and mires found in the coastal areas of Heard Island are broadly similar to those on other subantarctic islands of the southern Indian Ocean. Many species reported from Heard Island are found elsewhere.
