In 1772 the navigator Yves de Kerguelen came upon an archipelago in the far south of the Indian Ocean. “These isles are a fearsome trap,” he wrote in his log; all he left there were the few cats he had on board. Two centuries later the scientists of the Popchat mission land on Kerguelen to trap the cats, which have gone wild, and to see how they have adapted to the freezing climate. But who is observing whom?
