Îles Leygues

France

Leygues Islands (French: Îles Leygues, occasionally called Îles Swain), are a group of small islands and islets that are part of the subantarctic Kerguelen archipelago, a French territory in the southern Indian Ocean. They were named after Georges Leygues (1857-1933), a French politician and Minister of Marine. They are important as a breeding site for seabirds and fur seals.
