| - Port-Christmas, officially The City of Port-Christmas (French: La cité de Port-Christmas or La cité de Port-Noël) is the former capital city of the Republic of the Southern Indian Ocean Islands and currently capital of the province of West Kerguelen. The city proper has 1,991 inhabitants (2014), which makes it the largest continuous populated area in the commune of Péninsule Lorenchet, which has 2,032 inhabitants. Located on the northern tip of the Péninsule Lorenchet, Port-Christmas is the largest city of the province of West Kerguelen with over 22% of the provincial population living there. Historically, Port-Christmas was the most important city of the island as it provided the direct transport connections by sea to Réunion, though nowadays on the national level its importance has been overtaken by Port-aux-Français. Provincially it belongs to the region of North Kerguelen, of which it is the economical centre, though the central hub of the region is Port-Foch. It is also the political centre of the province, with the Parliament of West Kerguelen located within the city.
