The MARGO study sites are in the Kerguelen Islands region. This archipelago is located in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean in the heart of the 50th roaring ocean region. It is made up of many islands and islets with a surface area of 7215 km2 (For more information https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iles_Kerguelen)
The classic route for scientists traveling to Kerguelen is to first reach Reunion Island, and then to embark on the Marion Dufresne.
