Here at Australis we have been navigating the waters of Cape Horn, the Beagle Channel and Strait of Magellan since 1990 as a leading expedition cruise company. During that time our passion and goal has never changed: to transport our guests to another world, one which is wild and beautiful, untouched by humankind and rarely seen by tourists; a unique experience that will not be forgotten. A UNIQUE, UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE WORLD — www.australis.com Australis cruise routes all encompass the hidden canals, fjords and environments of this evocative part of Patagonia. We have access to areas that other cruise operators do not, meaning that your on-land and offshore excursions – whether trekking towards giant glaciers, wandering forest trails or exploring the delights of the Penguin colony – will be in complete isolation. Our itineraries also include a stop at Cape Horn, the southernmost point in the Americas which is often nicknamed the ‘End of the World’.

Guided by our ornithologist, Jim Wilson, our birders were first out, keen to find their target species, the Magellanic woodpecker. In this they were more than successful, spotting five, both males and females. Meanwhile, the rest of us boarded a catamaran and sailed the Beagle Channel towards the national park. En route we visited several small rocky islands, home to South American sea lions, imperial and rock cormorants (or shags), and South American terns. Disembarking in the national park at Lapataia Bay, we enjoyed lunch and walking trails through the southern beech forest with views of the Beagle Channel and Lago Roca before heading back to Ushuaia by bus. Awaiting us there was our home for the next few weeks, the Island Sky. Once settled in our cabins, we went out on deck to watch the lines being cast off and we sailed out into the Beagle Channel. Our Antarctic adventure had begun! Sunday, January 27 At Sea Our day at sea began with Jim introducing us to the birds of the Falkland Islands, and preparing us for our upcoming wildlife encounters.

Travel with an expedition leader and naturalists who have hundreds of journeys under their parkas. A National Geographic photographer will give talks and one-on-one photo tips in the field, and an undersea specialist captures rarely seen footage of life beneath the icy surface for viewing in the comfort of the ship’s lounge.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-51379-1 - European Encounters with the Yamana People of Cape Horn, Before and After Darwin Anne Chapman Excerpt More information Introduction This narration begins in 1578, with Francis Drake, and follows through, to the twentieth century, with other “outsiders” and with the native peoples, mainly the Yamana. I propose to travel with the reader, during these four centuries, through this desolate though often inspiring natural landscape: Tierra del Fuego, the islands south of the Magellan Strait to Cape Horn.1 Cape Horn has been associated with its native inhabitants, as if the final furious expression of the continent were coupled with the most wretched people on earth. Cape Horn, the southernmost part of the earth this side of Antarctica, is known principally for the tribulations of famous explorers and adventurous navigators. It has inspired and awed seamen for almost 400 years. Even in calm weather, a haunting silence shrouds the vast ocean beyond, disturbed only by the waves throbbing against the rocky coasts, where seals lounge and squalling petrels weave through the air. But now few animals remain there and fewer people. Now Horn Island is uninhabited except for men of the Chilean Navy and Coast Guard in the meteorological station. Despite the progress in navigation, “the Cape” still evokes the most dreaded seas on earth and from year to year draws tourists; but to the Yamana it was home. The Yamana are among the most defiled people in the world. The early navigators either ignored them or treated
