Stewy's Map Pack 15

You might be thinking that the Heard and Kerguelen Islands map is 'just another remote island', but I did some research into it and it's pretty interesting.

On the entire map, there is only one port (in the French Kerguelen Islands) and no airport.

The weather is very rough for 75% of the year and the warmest temperature in summer is 5.2°C (41.36°F) - yet there is a lucrative fishery for the Patagonian Toothfish, which attracts illegal fishing vessels.

The Australian Navy has run a number of missions trying to interdict these vessels - I've included my notes on a podcast https://player.fm/series/australian-...southern-ocean in the download file.

Here's a video showing the fishing conditions:
