Flora and fauna of the Kerguelen Islands (original) (raw)
The Kerguelen Islands are part of the Southern Indian Ocean Islands tundra ecoregion that includes several subantarctic islands. In this cold climate plant life is mainly limited to grasses, mosses and lichens, although the islands are also known for the indigenous edible Kerguelen cabbage. The islands are at the Antarctic convergence, where cold water moving up from the Antarctic mixes with the warmer water of the Indian Ocean. As a consequence, marine mammals, especially seals, and seabirds and penguins are numerous.

En este clima frío, la vida vegetal se limita principalmente a pastos, musgos y líquenes, aunque las islas también crece el repollo de Kerguelen, planta autóctona. Las islas se encuentran en la convergencia antártica, donde el agua fría que asciende desde la Antártida y se mezcla con el agua más cálida del Océano Índico.

(fr) Острова Кергелен являются частью тундрового экорегиона южных островов Индийского океана, который включает в себя несколько субантарктических островов. В этом холодном климате растительная жизнь в основном ограничивается травами, мхами и лишайниками, хотя острова также известны местной съедобной кергеленской капустой. Острова находятся в антарктической конвергенции, где холодная вода, поднимающаяся из Антарктики, смешивается с более теплой водой Индийского океана. Как следствие, многочисленны морские млекопитающие, особенно тюлени, а также морские птицы и пингвины. (ru) |
