Flags of the World - French Southern and Antarctic Lands

October 03, 2022

The flag of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands is a flag representing the overseas territory of France consisting of Adélie Land, the Crozet Islands, the Kerguelen Islands, Saint Paul and Amsterdam Islands, and the Scattered Islands. The flag was adopted in 2007. The flag features the French tricolor in the canton, often displayed with a border of white. In the lower fly, the letters T.A.A.F (terres australes et antarctiques françaises) forms a monogram in white, which is stylized to resemble an anchor. The monogram is surrounded by five white stars. The stars are sometimes thought to represent each of the five regions of the territory.
