Tierra del Fuego

Tierra del Fuego or Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego is the largest island in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. Half of the island belongs to the Magallanes Region of Chile while the eastern part belongs to the Tierra del Fuego Province of Argentina.
Although the island has sandy beaches, the climate is sub-polar, meaning long wet winters and little temperature fluctuation between the seasons. The static weather helps to preserve the island's glaciers and the island gets snow above 700 metres. There are skiing as well as hiking and climbing facilities. Tierra del Fuego also has dramatic waterfalls, and forests, but only six species of tree grow here. The most popular visitor’s attractions are Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, The Tierra del Fuego National Park and the historic Tren del Fin del Mundo (Southern Fuegian Railway). The fly-fishing is also supposed to be good.
