Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Park

  • Scientific papers

The Heard and McDonald Island Marine Reserve is a subantarctic island group located in the Southern Ocean, 4,000 kilometres south-west of mainland Australia. The Reserve is managed the Australian Antarctic Division, please visit their website to learn more about this near-pristine marine region http://heardisland.antarctica.gov.au/
