Fuegian red
All the news I am interested in I get from weather reports. And they said that autumn is comming to Tierra del Fuego and brings warm colors to this cold land. So enjoy while you can.

Sauerkraut but no prozac
What they left out is that while surveying waters at the end of the world Beagle's captain Pringle Stokes fell into depression, locked himself in for days and finally shot himself and died a few days later. He was buried on shore on the Straits of Magellan at Port Famine.

Straits of Magellan
Beyond this there is Tierra del Fuego and then Cape Horn and then Drake Passage and then Antarctic. All those names sound like from a fairytale and turn on my imagination - lands and seas at the end of the world. I wish I had a sailboat to explore all of them. Well, I must buy one then.

Desolate Place
Pali-Aike volcanic field is the least visited national park in Chile. Chances are you will be the only human visitor there.

Pingus
So you think penguins are cute. The one thing you cannot see in TV or cinema about them is that their colonies stink. At Monte Leon you'd better be upwind from thousands of these little buggers.
