SOUTH AMERICA: TIERRA DEL FUEGO

The uttermost part of the earth... 

"This streight is extreme cold; the trees seeme to stoope with the burden of the weather and yet are green continually. Towards the South sea monstrous high hills and craggy rocks do exalt themselves, whose tops be all hoary with snow." 

Hakluyt's "Voyages" 

With sincere thanks and warmest affection to 

Luis Turi and Carolina Etchegoyan!
