Portion tinted blue shows an area, of about 5£ million of square miles of the 

 Great Southern Ocean, which has virtually never been traversed since Dumont 

 d'Urville's voyage in 1840. (Partially visited by H.M.S. ' Challenger' in 1874..) 



The tracks of the ' Astrolabe ' and the ' Challenger/ and also of such vessels as 

 pass south of Kerguelen's Land, are shown by firm dark lines.
