  1. One of the biggest Penguin creche, or manchotiere, is located on The Crozet Islands (Îles Crozet), a sub-antarctic archipelago in the southern Indian Ocean. I'm not able to find resources in english, though I know plenty of things in french. For instance, if you want to look at other pictures, check these websites:

    The official website for these Islands (and all antarctic and austral pieces of land France owns in the southern hemisphere) is http://www.taaf.fr/spip/
