Maybe we're at cross purposes, here, but I don't think I've claimed
otherwise. I listed them as a single EEZ "island" ...

4. Heard & McDonald Islands (Australia) and Kerguelen Islands (France)
unquote:

(We did have a discussion a while back about how the CIA said that
France didn't claim it's full entitlement around the *Crozets* and
*Amsterdam & St. Paul*. But Kerguelen was billed as taking its full
200nm, and even back then before I started applying the Principle of
Maximal Greed, I had Kerguelen and Heard & McDonald down as the only
geminate EEZ island.)
