Английская Википедия:Ildefonso Islands
Шаблон:Infobox islands Islas Ildefonso are a group of islands in Chile. The islands belong to the Commune of Cabo de Hornos in Antártica Chilena Province of Magallanes and Antártica Chilena Region. They lie Шаблон:Convert west of Isla Hermite, part of Tierra del Fuego, and Шаблон:Convert NNW of Diego Ramirez Islands, but only Шаблон:Convert south of Isla Hoste or Шаблон:Convert to rocks near Isla Hoste.
Description
The islands were named by the Spanish navigator Diego Ramírez de Arellano, who piloted the Garcia de Nodal expedition through the region in 1619.[1] The islands consist of nine stacks, within two groups. They extend Шаблон:Convert on a northwest–southeast axis. The land area measures about Шаблон:Convert. More than 50% of this comprises the large single southern stack, which is Шаблон:Convert long and between Шаблон:Convert wide. The islands are steep and rocky, and covered in tussac grass.[2]
Important Bird Area
The islands have been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because they hold large breeding populations of both southern rockhopper penguins (86,000 breeding pairs) and black-browed albatrosses (47,000 breeding pairs). There are also smaller numbers of grey-headed albatrosses. Magellanic penguins, imperial shags and sooty shearwaters present.[3]
