This 'land of fire' (what 'Tierra del Fuego' translates to) earned its name from distant shoreline campfires the Yahgan (or Yamana) people tended; these were seen by fascinated explorers sailing the surrounding waters and channels. Now almost all the Yahgan are gone and the archipelago is owned mostly by Chile, though the largest cities of Rio Grande and Ushuaia are in Argentina.Surrounded by the stormy South Atlantic and the Strait of Magellan, this region
contains scenic glaciers lush deciduous and evergreen forests, clear lakes and rivers, and a dramatic sea coast. Tierra del Fuego also gives travelers the opportunity to go to the end of RN 3, the southernmost highway in the world. And while Ushuaia claims to be the 'southernmost city in the world' (a major draw for travelers), Puerto Williams a Chilean naval settlement of 20M is just a bit farther south. The area's climate is changeable enough that warm, dry clothing is essential even in summer.
