    REGIÓN DE MAGALLANES Y LA ANTÁRTICA CHILENA 2020 OBRAS PÚBLICAS P A R A E L D E S A R R O L L O GOBIERNO DECHILE MINISTERIO DE OBRAS PÚBLICAS Este documento corresponde a un extracto del libro: “CHILE 2020. Obras Públicas para el Desarrollo”, cuya versión digital está disponible en la siguiente dirección: www.mop.cl/2020 Prólogo de la Presidenta de la República En los últimos 20 años, Chile ha caminado a paso firme hacia el desarro- llo. La democracia chilena ha sabido combinar certeramente políticas de crecimiento económico con políticas de inclusión social, lo que ha signifi- cado un enorme progreso para el país y para todos sus habitantes. Y, pre- cisamente, uno de los sectores que más se ha desarrollado en estas dos décadas son las obras públicas. El trabajo serio y la moderna visión que hemos impreso a este esfuerzo han significado que el país haya vivido la más grande revolución en infraestructura en toda su historia. Basta mencionar sólo un par de ejemplos: en agua potable rural, el país invertía $ 2.230 millones en 1994, mientras que para 2008 la inversión alcanzó $34.960 millones, es decir, un aumento superior al 1.500%. En embalses, mientras en el período 1970-1990 se embalsaron 40 millones de metros cúbicos de agua, en el período 1990-2011 se embalsarán 860 millones de metros cúbicos, esto es, 21 veces más de agua embalsada. Cifras igualmente impresionantes se aprecian en la red de caminos básicos y carre- teras, que se extiende en miles de kilómetros por el país, o en las obras portuarias y aeroportuarias que nos conectan con el mundo.

  • Macrocystis Pyrifera) of Puerto Toro, Navarino Island, Chile
    - Vol. 19: 55-63. 1984 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published August 30 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Distributional patterns and diets of four species of sea urchins in giant kelp forest (Macrocystis pyrifera) of Puerto Toro, Navarino Island, Chile J. A. Vasquez, J. C. Castilla and B. Santelices Departamento de Biologia Ambiental y de Poblaciones, Facultad de Ciencias Biol6gicas. Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Casilla 114-D, Santiago, Chile ABSTRACT: The distribution pattern of microhabitat and diet was studied in 4 species of sea urchins (Loxechinus albus, Pseudechinus magellanicus, Arbacia dufresnei, Austrocidaris canaliculata) in a forest of Macrocystis pyrifera in southern Chile. We conclude that: (1) There is no overlap in space utilization (microhabitat) except for the species pair P. magellanicus -A, canaliculata. (2) All 4 species of sea urchins feed on M. pynfera in different percentages; this results in a high diet overlap in at least 3 of them; however, this resource does not appear to be limiting. (3) Neither competition among adults nor predation on adults appears to be a key factor in regulating the present population densities of the four species of sea urchins in the habitat studied. Our results further indicate that differences in intensity of water movement, correlated with bathymetric distribution, regulate population density, size of test and biomass in these four species. INTRODUCTION Puerto Toro, Navarino Island, in the Beagle Channel there are 4 species of sea urchins: Loxechinus albus Sea urchins are among the major grazers structuring (Molina), Arbacia dufresnei (Blainville), Pseudechinus communities of kelps in shallow waters of the Northern magellanicus (Philippi), Austrocidaris canaliculata Hemisphere (Leighton et al., 1965; Jones and Kain, (Agassiz).

  • PATAGONIA in AUTUMN CLASSIC ITINERARY 26 MARCH - 8 APRIL 2018 Ignacio Palacios – Nick Melidonis
    PATAGONIA IN AUTUMN CLASSIC ITINERARY 26 MARCH - 8 APRIL 2018 Ignacio Palacios – Nick Melidonis 1 PATAGONIA IN AUTUMN Patagonia is a sparsely populated region located at the southern end of South America. Shared by Argentina and Chile, it is the land of wonders and certainly, a photographer’s paradise. The mountains, glaciers and lakes in Patagonia are also some of the most beautiful in the world. Patagonia offers the photographer remarkably clean air that provides saturated colours of lush vegetation, especially during the autumn season. 2 3 PATAGONIA Chilean Patagonia is an amazing area of unlimited and unspoiled nature. Torres del Paine is a national park known for its soaring mountains, electric-blue icebergs that cleave from glaciers, lakes, waterfalls and golden pampas (lowlands) that shelter rare wildlife such as guanacos, pumas and condors. The three granite towers from which the park takes its name and the horn-shaped peaks called Cuernos del Paine are some of its most iconic sites. 4 5 LOS GLACIARES NATIONAL PARK Fitz Roy is the highest spire in a compact range of granite (granodiorite) peaks in Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, that remains among the most technically challenging mountains to climb on Earth and it can be seen from El Chaltén. The word Chaltén comes from a Tehuelche word meaning “smoking mountain”, due to a cloud that usually forms around its peak. 6 7 PERITO MORENO GLACIER ARGENTINA Perito Moreno is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field located in the Andes system shared with Chile. This ice field is the world’s third largest reserve of fresh water after Antarctica and Greenland.

  • Yaghan's, Explorers and Settlers
    YAGHAN’S, EXPLORERS AND SETTLERS: 10,000 years of Southern Tierra del Fuego Archipelago History The Museum Permanent Exhibit Script Martin Gusinde Anthropological Museum · Puerto Williams - Chile Participants in Initiation Rite in the year 1922. (Martin Gusinde, last row, fourth position from left to right). Anthropos Institut. Sankt Augustin, Germany - Authorized Digital Copying Martin Gusinde Anthropological Museum Introduction INTROUDUCTION The creation of a museum on Navarino Island was an ambitious project that grew out of a deep interest in and concern for the island’s natural and cultural heritage. The initiative was originally proposed by the Chilean Navy, the same institution that built the Martín Gusinde Anthropological Museum (MAMG), which opened its doors in Puerto Williams in 1975. In the 1960s, before the museum was founded, a collection was begun of archeological material from the island’s coastal areas, along with some objects of historical interest from the first occupation by pioneers. This collection was exhibited in the now defunct Mixed School Nº in Puerto Williams. The collection was moved when the Martin Gusinde Museum was established, becoming part of that institution permanent collection. The Museum was named after the Austrian anthropologist and priest Martin Gusinde S.V.D. (1886-1969), who worked among the Yaghan and Selk’nam people from 1918 to 1924. His body of work offers the greatest collection of ethnographic studies about a world that was already on the verge of disappearing. His seminal work “The Indians of Tierra del Fuego” was published between 190 and 1974, and will forever remain the principal source of information we possess about the native people of Tierra del Fuego.

  • SY Polarwind
    SY Polarwind The sailing trip Cape Horn and the Glaciers of Tierra del Fuego (12 days) Description: This unique sailing trip starts and ends in Puerto Williams, Chile’s southernmost town, located on the island of Navarino. SY Polarwind has its berth here at the Micalvi Yacht Club, which also happens to be the world’s southernmost yacht club. Osvaldo E. Escobar Torres is the ship’s owner, and is present on all tours as skipper. He is Chilean, and besides Spanish speaks fluent German as well as English and Portuguese. The fact that Osvaldo is Chilean and has spent more than 15 years living in this region means that he can offer his crew a truly unique sailing experience. Apart from his sailing skills and knowledge of the region, Osvaldo is committed to bringing the flora and fauna, as well as the history and the people of Tierra del Fuego closer to his guests. Day 1 By 11.00 am on the first day, all crew members (the maximum is five) should be present on SY Polarwind. The skipper, Osvaldo, greets the crew and provides a thorough introduction to the boat. There’s plenty of time for the crew members to unpack and settle in. Once all are settled, Osvaldo goes through the safety instructions which are of course for this sailing region particularly important. The group studies the maps and the skipper describes the route. The forecast for the following days is also taken into account since more than anything it is the weather that will dictate the route.
