Beagle Channel

Sailing through Beagle Channel on our way to Punta Arenas was absolutely breathtaking. The frigid Beagle Channel provides a watery highway for the world’s southernmost city, Ushuaia, Argentina, which we just left behind. The strait separates Argentina’s Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, to the north, from remote Chilean islands like Nueva, Picton and Navarino to the south of the channel. The Channel itself runs for 130 miles from Isla Nueva in the east to the Darwin Sound in the west and at its widest point, measures 3 miles) across.
