La Table de l'Oiseau

La Table de l'Oiseau is a mountain summit located in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. The peak rises from sub-Antarctic terrain and forms a defined geographic point in this remote territory.

This summit was mapped during French research expeditions in the 20th century to document French presence in the region. Its discovery was part of exploring the southern Indian Ocean and establishing territorial recognition in this sub-Antarctic zone.

The summit represents French presence in the Southern Hemisphere and serves as a reference point for scientific research stations in the area.

Reaching this summit requires special permits and relies on French polar research programs for access. Logistics are complex and require careful planning with the authorities managing the French Southern Territories.

The summit stands as a geological formation where researchers conduct studies on sub-Antarctic climate patterns and geological compositions.
