Volcan du Diable, Volcanic peak in Kerguelen Islands, French Southern and Antarctic Lands
The Volcan du Diable rises to 315 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes that emerge from the central region of Grande Terre in the Kerguelen archipelago.
French navigator Yves-Joseph de Kerguelen-Trémarec documented this volcanic formation during his 1772 expedition to these remote southern Indian Ocean islands.
Scientists and researchers from various disciplines gather at the Kerguelen Islands to study the geological formations and natural phenomena around Volcan du Diable.
Access to Volcan du Diable requires participation in scientific expeditions or specialized tours, as the Kerguelen Islands maintain limited transportation infrastructure.
The northern slopes of Volcan du Diable present geological features visible from the beaches near Argoat Lake, revealing layers of volcanic activity.
