About

Île Foch (French pronunciation: [il fɔʃ]) is one of the Kerguelen Islands situated near to the north coast of Grande Terre, the principal island.

It is separated from this main island by a narrow sea arm, the Tucker strait. It borders Île Saint-Lanne Gramont at the northwest, which is separated by the Baie de Londres. At the northeast point it borders Mac Murdo and Howe island.

With an area of 206 square kilometres (51,000 acres), it is the second-largest island in the archipelago. Its highest point, which has an elevation of 687 metres (2,254 ft), is named la Pyramide mexicaine, 'the Mexican Pyramid'.
