The Australian Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands lies
in a remote and stormy part of the globe, near the meeting-point of
Antarctic and temperate ocean waters. The islands, which were
unknown to humanity until the 19th century, are located in the
Indian Ocean sector of the Southern Ocean at around 53° 05' S
and 73° 30' E. They lie about 1,500 kilometres north of
Antarctica and over 4,000 kilometres south-west of Australia.

'The Montebello Islands complex consists of 265 distinct, low
lying islands and islets composed of limestone and cross-bedded
sandstones. The islands are generally irregular with convoluted
coastlines that comprise a mixture of lagoons, channels, intertidal
embayments, barrier and fringing reefs, intertidal rocky and
occasionally sandy shores and shallow limestone platforms that are
exposed to open ocean conditions. The islands may be capped with
sand dunes up to 40 m high, although most are characterised by bare
rocky terrain. The Lowendal Island group contains more than 40
limestone islands, islets and rocky stacks, which typically have
steep shorelines. The larger islands have dunes of white sand,
while the smaller islands consist mostly of low lying, bare rocky
islets and stacks. Barrow Island is the largest island within the
reserves, and there are nine smaller islands nearby. Barrow Island
is composed almost entirely of limestone outcrops and deposits
overlain by sands and gravels. It reaches a height of 62 m above
sea level, and has steep, undercut limestone shores with intertidal
limestone pavements.'
