BENTLEY 5 6 Department of Geography, Durham University, South Road, Durham, DH1 3LE UK; *[email protected], 7 [email protected], [email protected] 8 9 Abstract: 10 11 This paper presents a detailed glacial geomorphological map covering over 16,000 12 km2 of the Seno Skyring-Seno Otway-Strait of Magellan region in southernmost 13 Patagonia. It builds on previously published maps produced at a variety of scales 14 and is re-mapped in detail for the purposes of reconstructing the pre-Last Glacial 15 Maximum (LGM) glacial dynamics of the region, with particular focus on deciphering 16 the glacial landsystem north east of Seno Otway, which has been postulated as a 17 zone of ice streaming. Additional areas of interest include the reconstruction of 18 proglacial lakes dammed by the Skyring and Otway lobes; their drainage during 19 various stages of retreat; and a landsystems approach to the overall reconstruction 20 of the combined Skyring-Otway-Magellan ice lobes. Mapping was conducted using a 21 combination of Landsat and ASTER satellite imagery and oblique and vertical aerial 22 photographs, and is centred on approximately 53°S, 71°W. Seven main landform 23 types have been mapped: glacial lineations, moraines, meltwater channels, irregular 24 dissected ridges, eskers, outwash plains and former shorelines. -

Using original documents I gathered in research trips to Chile and Spain, I am able to reconstruct the debates that went on both sides of the Atlantic over funds, protection from ’ th pirates, and indigenous slavery that so defined Chile s formative 17 century. While my conclusions are unique, frontier residents from Paraguay to northern New Spain were also dealing with volatile indigenous alliances, threats from European enemies, and questions about how their tiny settlements could get and keep the attention of the crown. -

Chapter 10 RIPOSTE and REPRISE
Chapter 10 RIPOSTE AND REPRISE ...I have given the name of the Strait of the Mother of God, to what was formerly known as the Strait of Magellan...because she is Patron and Advocate of these regions....Fromitwill result high honour and glory to the Kings of Spain ... and to the Spanish nation, who will execute the work, there will be no less honour, profit, and increase. ...they died like dogges in their houses, and in their clothes, wherein we found them still at our comming, untill that in the ende the towne being wonderfully taynted with the smell and the savour of the dead people, the rest which remayned alive were driven ... to forsake the towne.... In this place we watered and woodded well and quietly. Our Generall named this towne Port famine.... The Spanish riposte: Sarmiento1 Francisco de Toledo lamented briefly that ‘the sea is so wide, and [Drake] made off with such speed, that we could not catch him’; but he was ‘not a man to dally in contemplations’,2 and within ten days of the hang-dog return of the futile pursuers of the corsair he was planning to lock the door by which that low fellow had entered. Those whom he had sent off on that fiasco seem to have been equally, and reasonably, terrified of catching Drake and of returning to report failure; and we can be sure that the always vehement Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa let his views on their conduct be known. He already had the Viceroy’s ear, having done him signal if not too scrupulous service in the taking of the unfortunate Tupac Amaru (above, Ch. -

[email protected] * Permanent address: Juan Moya 910, Ñuñoa, Santiago, Chile. ABsTracT. Newly described outcrops, excavations and sediment cores from the region of Última Esperanza, Magalla- nes, contain tephra derived from the large late-glacial explosive R1 eruption of the Reclús volcano in the Andean Austral Volcanic Zone. New radiocarbon dates associated to these deposits refine previous estimates of the age, to 14.9 cal kyrs BP (12,670±240 14C yrs BP), and volume, to >5 km3, of this tephra. The geographic and stratigraphic distribution of R1 also place constraints on the evolution of the ice-dammed proglacial lake that existed east of the cordillera in this area between the termination of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the Holocene. -

São analisados os relatos de dois comandantes britânicos a serviço da Marinha Real que percorreram aquela região e procuraram conciliar ciência e interesses pessoais na publicação de relatos de suas viagens, descrevendo descobertas, aventuras, a desconstrução de lendas e os tensos e conflituosos contatos com os indígenas locais.

Además se había preparado en geología e historia natural.Gran observador y capaz de llegar a conclusiones generales desde los detalles visibles. Ése viaje duró casi 5 años, tanto por mar como por las exploraciones por tierra que efectúo Darwin. Reconoció el bosque húmedo, los glaciares y fue testigo de erupciones volcánicas, maremotos y terremotos. En las Islas Galápagos hizo sus observaciones zoológicas que dieron base a sus postulados sobre el origen de las especies y la supervivencia de las más aptas. De vuelta en Inglaterra sus observaciones serán maduradas por él y sus seguidores, por décadas, tarea que continúa en la actualidad. palabras clave: Beagle, Patagonia; canales chilotes, bosque húmedo; fósiles; origen de las especies; selección natural.

Thinking Spatially Using
Introduction About the lessons Thinking Spatially Using GIS is a book of computer activities, data, and resources that can help introduce students at young ages to mapping concepts, GIS, geography, and other relevant topics. Because the lessons cover topics that you are already teaching in social studies, geography, history, life science, and earth science, we think you’ll find it to be a valuable supplement to your cur- rent textbook or curriculum. We’ve designed these lessons to help your students get excited about exploring the world around them while stepping into the world of contemporary computing and the smart maps of geographic information systems. The book comes with a copy of ArcExplorer Java Edition for Education (AEJEE) GIS software. Students will use this software to work through the lessons. This means that your students will be learning to use GIS tools that are similar to those being used by professionals around the world. And they will be using tools that they are increasingly likely to encounter in the future, whether it is in middle or high school, college or technical school, or as a citizen on the Internet. Where to begin Before you start using the book in class, we recommend that you do the following: 1. Finish reading this section and skim through this book and the student workbook to locate teacher and student materials. 2. Install the teacher resources, AEJEE software, and lesson data on your computer. (Besides being there for your own use, this can serve as a backup of the lesson data and teacher resources in case the disk is misplaced.) 3.
