Extra hierarchical region?

I believe that this should more be a rural area or a park rather than an extraregion. Not only does this not fall out of out hierarchy, but Macquarie Island, a similar looking article about a similar place. Unlike Tibetian empire or German East Africa, FSAL actually exists today. I would've changed it myself, but I'd want to know what other people think here. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 08:20, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

The problem is that this territory includes the land on Antarctica that France claims, but under the operating Antarctic Treaty, they don't actually administer it. Therefore, this can't be in the breadcrumb hierarchy as it stands. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:31, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

But this article is just about the islands. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 08:37, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Nope. Look at the "Regions" section. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:03, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Oops. Missed the Adélie Land. My bad. Sorry about that. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 09:51, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Another solution would be to mention that this article only covers the internationally recognised claims, with a hatnote to say Adélie Land is covered under East Antarctica. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 09:15, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

When did Marion Dufresne stop accepting tourists?

The article says

Staff come and go on Marion Dufresne, an oceanographic and supply ship, which makes a circuit four times a year from Reunion. Until 2019 you could book a berth as a tourist, but this is no longer possible.

However, many sources say this date was in 2024, not 2019. (some of these sources are paywalled so I can't confirm) What is correct? Captiveportal (talk) 20:20, 1 August 2026 (UTC)
