7 pictures from an expedition to Kerguelen islands - dark basalt cliffs (up to 700 m in height) on the Indian ocean shore, mountains with wide terraces, lava fields covered with yellow-green plants and, of course, king penguins. The web-site contains a lot of information about geology of the archipelago - there are some detailed maps.
