About Îles Maria

The Îles Maria (Maria Islands) comprise a small atoll in the Austral Islands, covering a total area of 1.9 km2 (0.73 sq mi). The atoll is unique as it remains uninhabited and serves as an important bird sanctuary. The lagoon is completely enclosed, creating a distinctive ecosystem.

The atoll consists of four main motus (islets) and is recognized for its significant role in seabird nesting. Scientific expeditions occasionally visit the atoll to study its pristine ecosystem and diverse bird population. The surrounding waters are rich in marine life, though access is limited due to the atoll's remote location.
