Mount Pierre, Volcanic summit in Crozet Islands, France.
Mont Pierre rises 292 meters above sea level in the Crozet archipelago, featuring steep slopes and exposed rock formations in the southern Indian Ocean.
The mountain became part of French territory when naval officer Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne claimed the Crozet Islands for France in 1772.
Scientists from international research stations near Mont Pierre conduct studies on marine ecosystems and monitor local wildlife populations throughout the year.
Reaching Mont Pierre requires authorization from French authorities and transportation via specialized vessels departing from Reunion Island between October and March.
The mountain serves as a nesting ground for numerous Antarctic seabirds, including albatrosses and petrels, which return to the same spots annually.
