Australis
Australis is the great southern continent of Pandora. It contains a number of lush jungles and rainforests, as well as vertigo-inducing mountains. The edge of Australis juts into the Equatorial Sea; it is here that the RDA and the Avatar team are stationed. Australis is also the home of the Na'vi Omaticaya clan.
The name of the continent only appears briefly in Project 880 (the original script of Avatar) when Jake is seen flying over the Hallelujah Mountains.
