The Subantarctic is a region in the
Southern Hemisphere immediately north
of the Antarctic and covering the
many islands of the southern parts
of the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean
and Pacific Ocean, which are north
of the Antarctic Convergence. These
include Diego Ramírez Islands,
Campbell Island, Macquarie Island,
Crozet Islands and Prince Edward Islands,
and as the northern boundary of the
subantarctic region is less than well
defined, sometimes the Falkland Islands,
Isla de los Estados and islands adjacent
to Cape Horn, Amsterdam and Saint
Paul Islands, Gough Island and Tristan
da Cunha group are also included.
Islands of the Southern (or Antarctic)
Ocean, south of the convergence, however,
are not considered subantarctic, but
Antarctic. The Kerguelen Islands lie
on the boundary.[2]
