Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Region

The terrain of the Region of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica shifts from Patagonian steppe in the east to the Andes, islands and fjords in the west, creating a far-southern territory exposed to powerful winds. The Strait of Magellan cuts through its mainland and island geography, linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Punta Arenas, on the strait, developed as an important port before the Panama Canal reshaped interoceanic shipping. Farther north, Torres del Paine National Park is known for the granite Paine Massif and glaciers, while the region also extends across Tierra del Fuego and the channels of western Patagonia.
