Recorded February 24-25, 2009.
Tierra del Fuego is an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland, across the Strait of Magellan. The archipelago consists of a main island Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego divided between Chile and Argentina with an area of 18,572 square miles, and a group of smaller islands including Cape Horn. Initially discovered by Ferdinand Magellan's expedition in 1520, the islands were not settled by people of European descent until the second half of the 19th century at the height of the sheep farming and gold rush booms.
The video begins as we sail around Cape Horn and up the Beagle Channel on the Star Princess. After docking in Ushuaia, Argentina I take a drive through the Andes Mountains and embark on a wildlife cruise in the Beagle Canal.
