Heard Island and McDonald Islands
Flag
  • Status: Australian external territory. Claimed: 1947
    Situated 2,480 miles southwest of Australia in the Indian Ocean, the Heard and McDonald islands are ice covered, volcanic rock outcrops. Their principal use is for scientific research. Because of Herd Islands unique location - it offers direct access to the world's main oceans - it was chosen in 1991 as the site of an experiment to monitor global warming using sound waves.
