Australia assumed control of these islands from the United Kingdom in 1947. Known for their volcanic activity, the islands serve as a research site for scientists and boast a unique ecosystem.
The Heard and McDonald Islands are one of the most remote places in the world and serve as an important observation point for climate change research. The islands' flag is a historical testament to Australia's colonial influence and symbolically represents the geopolitical changes in the Southern Hemisphere.
