    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....

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.

São conectados os objetivos estratégicos dos governos aos comerciais de companhias de caça e comércio para a compreensão do financiamento de expedições oficiais de exploração e mapeamento da região. 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.

  • PATAGONIAN EXPEDITION RACE 10Th Anniversary of the Last Wild Race
    PATAGONIAN EXPEDITION RACE 10th Anniversary of The Last Wild Race 10th Anniversary of The Last Wild Race begins Tuesday, February 14th International field of 19 teams – 76 adventurers – to take on an extreme wilderness course Racing for the awareness and conservation of Chilean Patagonia PUNTA ARENAS, CHILE (February 13th, 2012) Nineteen teams of eco-adventurers will head into the Patagonian wilderness on Tuesday, February 14th, in an extreme- endurance environmental multisport race designed to protect one of the most remote parts of the planet. Teams from Croatia, New Zealand, Great Britain, United States, Japan, Russia, Brazil, France, Denmark, Czech Republic, South Africa, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Finland, Canada, Spain, Australia, Colombia and Chile will accept the challenge and fight to reach the finish line. The racers will compete non-stop through 581km of one of the world’s untouched, great wildernesses. However, the kayak, bike and trekking race is so challenging that fewer than half the teams are likely to complete the course. This year’s annual race begins in Punta Arenas and travels down the coast of Peninsula Brunswick, home of the Huemul Conservation Project, toward the ominous and unexplored terrain of Tierra del Fuego. First, teams must cross the Strait of Magellan, reaching Dawson Island, an area which has not been accessible to the public until now. They will then portage their kayaks across the island’s lakes and scrub until they reach the inviting tails winds of Canal Whiteside, completing an 85km kayak portion. The route then passes through Karukinka Natural Park, owned by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), home to emblematic Patagonian wildlife including guanacos and Andean condors, as well as pristine forests, snow-capped peaks, glacial lakes and the infamous peat bogs.

Cañete ([email protected]) ABSTRACT. The pelagic harpacticoid copepod Microsetella rosea inhabits the cold waters along the temperate southern coast of Chile, where its population biology and ecological role in the neuston are unknown. During a CIMAR 16 Fiordos cruise realized in the Magellan Region, 26 neustonic samples were collected to analyze the abundance, spatial distribution of copepodits and oceanographic conditions (temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen). M. rosea copepodits, the most abundant holoneustonic taxa (30% of total abundance), were present at all sampled stations and were 0.5 times more abundant than calanoids. These copepodits inhabited waters ranging between 6.5-8.5oC and salinity of 26-33, with maximum abundances (1,000-10,000 ind/5 min horizontal drag) at means of 7.2 ± 0.6ºC and salinities of 30.7 ± 0.9.

  • Achæoscillator Towards Incorporeal Forms of Sensing Listening and Gaze
    CAPE HORN ISLE | 2020 CAPE HORN Achæoscillator_ Towards incorporeal forms of sensing listening and gaze Research essays by: Paula López Wood | Alfredo Prieto Iglesias | Gerd Sielfeld | Alessandra Burotto 1 Terra Australis Ignota Research Group (TARIG) is working on a large exhibition in collaboration with the Contemporary Art Museum, Santiago de Chile 2021. TAIRG is part of Terra Ignota (terra-ignota.net), a research platform that was born with the idea of seeking an unconventional way of reading the southernmost territory on the planet through the transdisciplinary intersection that integrates local communities, science and art. Terra Ignota, initiated in 2015 by and for a dynamic group of Chilean and international artists, scientists, curators and producers as a recurrent nomadic lab, focusing on the austral region of Magallanes and the Antarctica peninsula as the area where to analyse the local ecosystem. Informed by archaeology, (de/colonial) history, (indigenous) practices, nature and climate of the region and is aiming to connect that to urgent global questions. Terra Ignota is rhizomatic, it moves slowly, listens, zooms in and out, and connects; it’s periodic encounters continuously (re)shape the direction and outcomes of the project, which will manifest itself in manifold collaborative manifestations such as artistic and scientific publications and presentations, and performances, interventions and installations in the context of international exhibitions. Photo by Víctor Mazón Gardoqui 2 In 2018, Terra Australis Ignota Research Group traveled to Cape Horn, the southernmost continental island in the world before Antarctica. There, the air, water and earth come together, where the line that divides the two oceans, the land and the air vanishes.
