English term or phrase: French Southern Territories
Je n'ai pas de contexte particulier. Cette notion fait partie d'une liste de sélection de pays sur une page Web, mais je ne pense pas qu'il s'agisse de "territoires méridionaux français" qui ne fait référence à rien de particulier, enfin pas que je sache. Merci d'avance.

Territoires Français du Pacifique-Sud


Explanation:
www.ciral.ulaval.ca/alx/amlxmonde/pacifique/ncal1geo.htm

...elle fait partie de l’un des trois territoires français du Pacifique-Sud,
avec la Polynésie française et Wallis-et-Futuna. Juridiquement parlant, Wallis-et-Futuna détient le statut de TOM (territoire d’outre-mer), alors que la Polynésie française a acquis, en juin 1999, le statut de POM (pays d’outre-mer); quant à la Nouvelle-Calédonie, elle est aussi en voie d’acquérir progressivement un statut similaire d’ici une vingtaine d’années

Terres autrales et anarctiques françaises


Explanation:
The French Southern Territories consist of the islands of Saint Paul, Amsterdam, Crozet, and by far the largest, Kerguelen in the Indian Ocean. (Often, the disputed French Antarctic territory of Adélie (Adelia) Land with its 432,000 km² is considered part of the territory, then called the French Southern and Antarctic Territories.)

Bienvenue sur le site de la 47ème mission de Kerguelen ! Vous trouverez sur ce site de nombreux renseignements relatifs aux Terres Australes et Antarctiques Françaises (TAAF), une multitude de photos de cet archipel français du bout du monde, ainsi que des informations pratiques destinées aux anciens des Kerguelen et plus particulièrement à ceux ayant hivernés en 1997 lors de la 47ème mission... En gros c'est un site pour les nostalgiques des TAAF (Kerguelen, Crozet, Amsterdam & Terre Adélie) -en nombre toujours grandissant-, les anciens VAT (IFRTP ou non) et pour tous les internautes curieux d'en apprendre un peu plus sur cette île si paradisiaquement ventée
