[edit] Antipodes
I mistakenly edited the Antipodes statement, since the geographic coordinates of Kerguelen Island seem to show that its antipode is in Canada. However, the northenmost peninsulas of Kerguelen are antipodes to an area just over the US border in Montana, so I reverted the edit. Stereoroid 23:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
How the heck came the cattle there? By swimming? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.181.119.61 (talk) 22:22, August 21, 2007 (UTC)
There is an error in either this article OR the related one about St. Paul Island. BOTH articles say the British frigate, HMS Megaera, was wrecked on the island in 1871. It couldn't have been wrecked on both islands--they are miles apart. So, which is it? (I collect the stamps of the FSAT-TAAF: that's why I read the article. The very beautiful stamps of the TAAF are popular collectibles for philatelists.) Greg 24.21.45.18 (talk) 06:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elcano's discovery?
Pigafetta (the only account of Magellan and Elcano's navigation) does not mention this island at all. From Timor he jumps directly to Cape of Good Hope. --Sugaar (talk) 23:09, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
