French Southern and Antarctic Territories

OpenStreetMap vector data for the French Southern and Antarctic Territories provides essential resources for remote mapping, navigation systems, and spatial analysis in this unique polar region. Developers and researchers can utilize these geospatial datasets to enhance cartographic applications or conduct environmental studies. This site offers a free daily-updated .pbf extract of the geodatabase. For users requiring immediate visualization and structure, a paid QGIS 3 project is available, featuring pre-styled Shapefile or GeoPackage layers and thematic icons. The territory consists of several scattered islands and archipelagos in the southern Indian and Southern Oceans, including the Kerguelen and Crozet Islands, with the Adélie Land base serving as the administrative center.
