The island of Amsterdam is a remote volcanic island in the southern Indian Ocean. It is part of the French Southern and Antarctic Territories. The highest mountain is Mont de la Dives at 881 m above sea level. The climate is mild maritime with constant westerly winds and high humidity. The island is populated by a few species of seabirds, including several species of albatross. The peat-covered Plateau des Tourbières is the only place in the world where the critically endangered Amsterdam Albatross breeds. The island is uninhabited apart from a research station whose crew is replaced once a year.
Amsterdam Island is located in the Indian Ocean. Legally Amsterdam Island belongs to France.
